Frequently Asked Questions

• Is nitrogen dangerous?

  No, nitrogen is an inert, odourless, colourless gas. This means that it does not react with other components. Nitrogen from the TyreSaver products is also very dry. Filling your tyres with nitrogen will give you the following benefits:

  • Longer term stability of the tyre pressure
  • Better grip and handling
  • Reduced fuel consumption
  • Longer tyre life
  • Enhanced safety
  • No oxidation within the tyre

  Beware, the air we breathe consist of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other trace gases. The TyreSaver inflator produces high purity nitrogen which should not be inhaled as this will cause suffocation.

• What if I get a flat or my tyre has a puncture?

  Filling your tyres with normal compressed air is not a problem. Whenever it is possible you should fill your tyres with nitrogen to maintain the benefits, but filling your tyres with normal compressed air is no problem. Later when you have the chance, return to your nitrogen supplier to have your tyres refilled with nitrogen.

• Can I fill the nitrogen filled tyres with air for top off when I can’t get nitrogen?

  Filling your tyres with normal compressed air is not a problem. Whenever it is possible you should fill your tyres with nitrogen to maintain the benefits, but filling your tyres with normal compressed air is no problem. Later when you have the chance, return to your nitrogen supplier to have your tyres refilled with nitrogen.

• Do I need special tyres to fill them with nitrogen?

  No, all tyres can be filled with nitrogen.

• Is it difficult to connect the TyreSaver 3.0?

  This is very easy. The TyreSaver 3.0 is a workshop tool, you can simply connect the compressed air hose with a quick connector to the TyreSaver 3.0 and it’s ready to inflate tyres.

• Does my nitrogen inflator have a start-up time?

  No, it will produce nitrogen immediately.

• Does my nitrogen inflator require maintenance?

  The TyreSaver 3.0 does not need maintenance; it is made in such a way that the cartridge can make up to 12,000 fills.

  The TruckTyreSaver is especially designed for inflating large tyres (truck, bus, mine equipment etc.). To keep optimum quality of the inflator we advise that the filters are changed once per year.

• What is the best operating pressure for Parker nitrogen tyre inflators?

  Parker TyreSaver 3.0 works best with an inlet pressure between 5 and 11 bar(g) (75 and 160 psig).

  TruckTyreSavers operate best with inlet pressures between 5 and 13 bar(g) (75 and 190 psig).

• Is nitrogen bad for the environment?

  The air we breathe contains 78% of nitrogen which is a natural gas. It is not bad for the environment.

• Who is using N2 in tyres?

  • Airplanes (obliged for safety reasons)
  • Competition racing (Formula 1, NASCAR, MotoGP)
  • Government services (Army, police, fire dept., ambulance)
  • Fleet owners (lease cars, taxi)
  • Heavy construction machines (mining)
  • End-users (cars, motorcycles, vans, mopeds, bicycles, trailers)

  While nitrogen will help you maintain correct tyre pressure, you should still check your tyres on a regular basis and/or as recommended by the tyre manufacturer
