  • How to fill air in your car tyres for the first time will feel a bit scary. But just follow these simple steps in this video on the right way to check your car tyre pressure.
    How to inflate car tyres at a petrol station in the UK for the first time.
    We will be using BP air pump at a BP petrol station. Using the air machine will feel like you don't know what to do, but they are very simple and as long as you set the air pressure correctly, then you will be ok.
    Before you fill up your car tyres, make sure you have planned in advance that you are going to do this and arrive at the petrol station at the start of your journey when your tyres are cold.
    Make sure your car is parked in a good position where you can walk round to reach all four of your car tyres to inflate them easily.

    I highly recommend purchasing your own tyre "inflator" pump; one that plugs into the car's 12V socket. Halford's own brand ones seem to last well. I keep mine in the car (especially on long journeys), just in case one of the tyres picks up a slow puncture.

    Thank you for this! You legend!
    You explain it so clearly and quickly. I couldn't of asked for a better tutorial.
    You have helped more than my final instructor ever did, thank you!
    It still did not resolve my issue though (unaligned tyres... Veering to the left).
    At least I know how to do this with confidence though.

    • @JamesTravis
      @JamesTravis  4 дні тому +1

      Thank you.
      If your car is veering to the left then it is wheel alignment. This is usually cased by going over a big pot hole and to resolve it you would need to get your tracking aligned. It will take a tyre garage about 10 to 15 minutes to do. Not sure of price(£30 to £90).

    Thank you for this. Being a female I haven't a clue how to use one of these at a garage. Can you change the pressure? My front tyres should be 30 psi while the rear ones are 26 psi

    • @JamesTravis
      @JamesTravis  Місяць тому +1

      If the car information is saying your tyres require that amount for front and back. Then yes just change the pressure on the air machine.

    A helpful video thanks, I got a spare set of dust caps to keep in the car as I’m sure I’ll lose one at some stage and were very cheap. I’m not good for checking the tyres, or oil etc … I tend to wait until the car system tells me it needs doing.

  • @AmyJaneSmith90
    @AmyJaneSmith90 День тому +1

    So to confirm on the petrol station machine you put in what the tyres should be? Not how much extra they need to reach that point? Also how urgent is it to do this if they're bit low?

    • @JamesTravis
      @JamesTravis  День тому

      Yes you inflate to the correct pressure. The longer you leave the tyre pressure low the more the tyre will ware. If you are going to drive on a long journey, then definitely get them inflated because there is a higher risk of your tyre getting hotter than usual.

    Does it matter if the tyres are warm from driving?

    • @stephenoverthrow2463
      @stephenoverthrow2463 2 місяці тому +3

      Yes. If the tyres are warm/hot from driving you'll get an incorrect reading as hot air in the tyres expands.

      Yes, check your tyres when they are cold

    I’ve passed my test
    Irrelevant to this video ik
    But when I get fuel in future
    How do I pay over the counter
    As I know Tescos garage is pay st pump and can only remove the pump until you paid
    I prefer going inside to counter do you know ?
    Thanks 😊

    • @jadens9569
      @jadens9569 Місяць тому +1

      You're overthinking it. Both methods are very simple. If you prefer paying over the counter, you just tell them the pump number and you pay for the fuel using card or cash. You ask for a receipt if you need it, then you go on your merry way.

      ​No problem, I'm happy to help. It will become second nature the more you do it. You are correct; due to rising fuel theft, some stations have added additional security measures. I prefer paying at the pump. At most stations, it's as easy as inserting your card, entering your PIN, and then filling up. Whichever method you choose, you can't go wrong, so give it a go when you're ready. Congrats on passing your test by the way.@@JackT21

    I had a dreadful experience where a pump was faulty and it deflated my tyres. Thankfully, I've got my own machine that I can do without stress at home.
    Can you inflate your tyres if it's raining? I always time it so it's a dry day and the tyres are cold

    • @JamesTravis
      @JamesTravis  2 місяці тому +1

      Good to know! Yes you can inflate your car tyres in the rain.
