minus-squareSquare Singer@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up42·edit-21 年前The pressure from an exhaust pipe is <0.17 bar or 2.5 PSI. My car tires have to be pressurized to 2.3 bar or 33 PSI. So what happens is you get a flat tire that smells funny. And if you are doing that in a garage, you’ll probably get carbon monoxide poisoning.

minus-squareSquare Singer@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up13·edit-21 年前Looks like google helpfully stripped away the “.” in 2.3 bar because my locale wants me to use a “,” instead. 2.3 bar != 330 psi But the point still stands. 0.17 bar / 2.5 PSI is not enough to inflate a tire.
