They say in a car motorcycle colision the motorcycle always loses. But that’s not true; we could both lose.
Comment on What happens of you use the gas from the exhaust pipe to inflate a tire?
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 6 months agoI’m going to use this to fill my motorcycle tires. Fuel vapor bombs on both wheels. Yikes.

Don’t have to pay for insurance if any little crash becomes deadly!

Just unplug the injectors first. Or turn the fuel shutoff valve if it’s carbureted.

If you turn the fuel off on a carbureted engine, it won’t run.

Yes, that’s the point. You don’t need it to run to fill a tire: just crank it over a few times with the starter then replace the spark plug and turn the fuel back on.
If you wanted to run the engine while once cylinder is connected to a tire then you’d very quickly overinflate it. Also you’d be running the engine without a cylinder (no spark plug) which is probably always a bad idea and in many cases straight up impossible.
