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. |

You may have noticed some racing wheels with 2 valves/wheel. That is for purging the air by adding nitrogen. Similar to what Mitch did, but much quicker. You still won’t get out ALL of the air.
I would suggest that you simply mount your tires in a nitrogen filled room. Quickly. To address your question, 35th Anniversary AS Camaro SS, you may need to pay certain tracks a vendor or concessionaires fee to sell on their property. I think that if most racers would use water-free air like some use water-free nitrogen, there would be less need for nitrogen. I had used nitrogen years ago, but after I started to focus on minimizing the moisture content of the air I put in my tires, I found air satisfactory. |
