this reminds me of one I saw in an ad years ago. It was a tire inflator that ran off a car engine. You pulled a spark plug and screwed it in the hole. It filled the tire from the cylinder. You probably don't need to be told what ended up inside the tire but you didn't want to be smoking when you checked the tire pressure.
I doubt they were on the market for long. It was all fun and games until the metal ball seat came loose and the motor sucked the ball into the cylinder. Seen it.

I don't understand the aversion to Slime. There is so much cactus and goatheads here, that you'd be running all 4 flats all the time without it in every tire... Yep. Slime it for a slow leak. Plug a big leak. Don't waste your time at a tire shop. Yup. You might also make sure you don't have debris wedged in between the bead and the rim. Soap it out of a spray bottle and wait for the big bubble. ![[Linked Image]](http://ancdn-a-e.shopletcdn.com/productimages/500x500/EJ1012680128.JPG)

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

I live in NM and goat heads are the least of your worries. Mesquite thorns and sharp stobs or sticks are more likely. Berrymans is the best i have used. My 4 wheeler has a quart of berrymans in each tire. No flats. Slime is nowhere in the same category as Berrymans.

Tire sealant is the only option for us around here as we have many many thorn trees....you literally would have a flat every day...
Our local tire shop automatically puts it in atv tires when you have them mounted...
