Re: Schrader valve
Yea seems like a bad idea to be driving around on a bag of pressurized gasoline...
Im sure theres some kinda rubber or leather diaprham that moves and supposed to block a port off but has dryrotted.

Re: Schrader valve
Yea I would think the vapors from the engine would not be a good thing for the tubes. We seem to have tube troubles already today without adding anything but air.
