spike Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I just got a set of works dual rates with remote rezzie's, I think that the nitrogen bottles are empty, when i try to take the pressure in them there nothing, am I supposed to get a reading out of these? if yes what is it? I can fill them up at work as we use nitrogen in the aircrafts tires. but i'm not sure how much to put in. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 it depends on what they are setup for but i want to say its like 600 psi. if you use a tire gauge type thing to to test it you will loose almost all of the pressure in no time. its a quick sss and its gone... call works and ask them they would be able to tell you for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
