I put two new trailer tires on last October. I saved the best old one as a spare on a rim.
I never thought about it. Well, we hit something on the road and it toasted a tire on the trailer on the highway going home. The trailer was heavy, and the tire was trash.
I got the spare out, and it was flat! And the bead was floppy on it!
I have one of those plug-in 12V pumps, and I could not get the bead to set to take air.
We had starting fluid, and I sprayed it inside the tire, waited a few seconds, and put a lighter to it.
POP! It set the bead!
Done deal! It took air and got us home!
That was awesome! That shit works!
I felt like superman for a minute, getting our asses out of trouble so quickly! I had only seen it done, never by my own hand!
