You are not the first to think of that . But I know the adaptor was somewhat common (the 8n is the most popular tractor model ever, and shared an engine with the model A) and i've never heard of issues. I'm not sure if that is because nobody talked about it though.
Comment on What happens of you use the gas from the exhaust pipe to inflate a tire?
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 11 months agoThat’s a bomb you’re inflating at that point.

You’d need to either already have the tractor on fire, or somehow have an ignition source for this to happen, but you’ve essentially made a pipe bomb.

It isn’t very likely to connect with open flame. Tires are pretty well suited for containing air.
In case your rig is on fire for long enough to melt through the very thick tires, that would be dangerous, yes.

The inside of the Hindenburg wasn’t very likely to connect with open flame.

To be fair. No one puts close to a hundred men on a tractor and floats it in the sky (including a dedicated smoking lounge).
All I’m saying there’s a bit of a spread to the risk evaluation.

Tell me you don’t understand the concept of static electricity without telling me you don’t understand the concept of static electricity.
