I decided to check my tire pressure today, usually check it every 2-3 months. I keep the tires at 40 lbs, and my car indicated 38/39 lbs, so time for a slight top off.
I got out my air tank, and 3 out of the four tires I got blow back, as if I had removed the Schrader valve. Two of the 3 shut off after 1/2 second or so. But the 3 tire, each time I removed the fill hose, it just free flowed air out. I had to keep adding back air, I think 4 times before the valve shut off. I was worried that it would not shut off, and I would end up with flat tire.
I have never in my 50 years of filling up tires had this happen. Now I am wondering what will happen next time......
I did a few searches, did not find any posts like this. Anyone else have this happen?
