saw a female driver do THIS today.shocked and amused.

[watchman8]

You set once, and you pump all tires.. what you described she doing is correct.

Press the + or - sign to the right pressure and pump.. there is no "GO" button. The pump will pump till the pressure is achieved.

Are you referring to pumps in Singapore?

TS is a blur f. The woman did it right, and he is the one that ought to be laughed at.

was pumping petrol today at rehill shell.
after that proceed to pump my tyres.
there is only 1 air pump, so i was in queue.
i waited in queue with my aircon on.
saw a lady in her early 30s wearing semi suit trying to pump air for her Mitsubishi Evo.
Saw her press the + up sign on the panel becasue i can hear the beep beep beep sound.
then saw her went round her four tyre loosening her cap and inserting the pump.
Funny thing is , i only saw her touch the panel once, how come she can go around her 4 tyres at one go.
(those who pump tyre before will understand why i say that)
Saw her take some time...but i very patience.no problem.no kapo,no chee hong.

After that she drove off,my turn to pump.
knn the panel show 138psi.
that is enough to charge an aircraft tyre.

2 things might occur:
1) she did not press the go button after setting the psi she wanted.so being gundu..she did not actually pump instead let off some air

2) she pressed 138psi(the more the better mentally) , press the go button, she was lucky not to had be blown to pieces during charging

more like number 1, becasue i did not hear the hissing sound despite with my windows windup

i learn something today.never queue beside a lady driver for pumping tyre.whose know she might be a walking weapon

She was thinking 138 / 4 = 34.5 psi per tyre, which is about right for her car?

 

[ykhuser]

Could it be 138kN/m2 pressure rather than 138psi? Some air pumps give 2 options.
Anyway, 138kN/m2 would be under pressure for most car tyres (conversion about 20psi)
I don't think the air pump can go to 138psi or the tyre would have blown up.

yup.what i saw is 138psi.
there is 2 option of selection though

i alway pump from singapore shell.
yes there is a start button after you have set the psi you want.

watchman8 proporly only pump bicycle tyre.
i already say there is no hissing sound from the pump hose.

A few possibility why there was no sound. First, the rest of tires are at higher or desired pressure, hence, no further pumping required.

Second, you are too far away to her the sound.

Third, she did not engage the pump properly because her mind was engaged in thinking about being pumped.

Many decades ago when I first started driving, I went to the kiosk to pump air into the tyres.

I was then out on my first date with a minah who was also in the car. I called my dad because I didn't know how much air to pump.

I asked "Pa, I want to go and pump air, pump how much?", then "oh...220 is it? okay."

My minah replied,"no wonder only rich people can drive car, just pump air also need to pay $220!"

Or minah thought your dad ask you to pump her 220 times and the pay her $220?

you should tell minah _ "then you must learn to blow, blowing it, it's free"

There is a FILL EMPTY button. That one you press you will hear a hiss. This is ONLY for empty tyres coz the normal mode will not work if the tyre is totally flat ie no back pressure to the pump. Dont use this coz it will overinflate your tyres (iamgine Donald Ducks car) and you will be skating on ice in the rain.


That being said, I use Mobil and Caltex mostly when in Sg. I stay away from Shell.. but their air pump I believe is from the same supplier. ie press - and + and once left alone about a second it will autoset, no need for GO button.

i alway pump from singapore shell.
yes there is a start button after you have set the psi you want.

 

[ykhuser]

no, i was beside, side by side

even before u insert the hose into tyre, the hissing sound should start

 

[watchman8]

Then you have answer. Because you were standing so close to her, side by side in your own words, she was freaked out but dare not shout for help. So she pretended to pump air as fast as she can and then get out of the station.

You were side by side, and staring at her. Yeah, usually people are very comfortable with this, no pressure at all

You can always use your imagination and undress her with your eyes....

Unfortunately, thats because very little Singaporeans really understand their cars. Most are pretty good at quoting excerpts from motoring websites or car magazines or performance numbers from magazines. Just ask any of them how many cylinders (or spark plugs for that matter) their engine have and their faces go blank..

Most don't even know how to change their punctured tire.. for goodness sake.

this thread is so funny........much ado over an air pump......
