NitrogenMan Frequently Asked Questions

---

NitrogenMan began as the first stand alone, drive-thru refill nitrogen tire facility in, and is a top supplier of nitrogen tire inflation tools and equipment.

• Better Fuel Consumption:
  • Nitrogen gas is slower than air to leak from tires because of the larger size molecule, therefore, proper inflation pressure is maintained longer ensuring a more consistent ride and better gas mileage.
• Improved Tire Life:
  • Improper air pressure is one reason that tires wear improperly and quickly. Because nitrogen tire inflation maintain proper air pressure longer, they provide more “even” tire regular wear.
• Improved Tire Endurance:
  • Compressed air contains moisture, so in addition to inconsistent tire’s inflation pressure, the moisture can also react with the rubber compounds in the tire, causing them to break down and lose their strength and durability.
• Improved Tire Running Stability:
  • Nitrogen filled tires maintain a more consistent tire pressure; cooler running; longer tread life; less oxidation of tire components, and reduced rim and wheel corrosion.

Yes, NitrogenMan can purge the compressed air from your tires—along with the moisture that is found in compressed air–and refill them with nitrogen quickly and for a minimal charge.

Normal air is about 78% nitrogen; so adding compressed air will lower the nitrogen purity, but not cause any adverse affects on the tire or vehicle as long as the tire pressure is at the proper level. The tire should be purged and re-inflated with nitrogen as soon as possible. If a nitrogen “steer” tire fill has been refilled with air, you should let the nitrogen out of the other steer tire and re-filled with compressed air until both can be purged and re-filled with nitrogen.

Nitrogen-filled tires are great for just about “anything that has tires,” including boat trailers, RV’s, motorcycles, trucks and more. One benefit of nitrogen tire fill is that they lose air more slowly than compressed air tires, making nitrogen a great choice for vehicles that are used infrequently.

The industry standard is to place a green cap in the tire stem—this denotes nitrogen filled tires.

Absolutely not, in fact, nitrogen tire inflation is supported by Michelin, BF Goodrich, Goodyear and many more tire manufactures for its ability to better retain pressure for a longer period of time.
