What would you all think is a reasonable amount to pay for having your tires filled with Nitrogen? And how much would you pay to have a air tank filled with nitrogen so you can adjust your pressures?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking about starting a business (gotta find a way to make money somehow) that could fill tires and air tanks on site at events. The capital investment may prove to be too expensive, I'm not sure how much IR's new Nitrogen generator is going to cost yet. Plus would probably need to buy a truck & car trailer.... I'd put the generator, ar compressor and nitrogen system in the bed of the pickup. So i'd like to know what is reasonable to charge for such a luxury to determine my breakeven point. If I could break even within 5 years or so it'd probably be a good investment. |

I don't know ... you know how fickle racers are ... why pay for something that is free, right?
Having said that, I am very glad I made the transition to nitrogen. The tires don't change as much between runs and don't grow as much overall. It's also a LOT easier on the tire and rim. Using it for running a gun is easier on the gun and hose, also. If I needed nitrogen, a few dollars for a bleed and fill would be about it, I'm afraid. A 250 cubic feet bottle can be refilled for $10 ... $15 at the most. |
