"Is nitrogen explosive? "
No, nitrogen is a totally inert gas and is extremely safe. It is not combustion
able and does not chemically react with other substances.

"Will PurigeN98™ affect my TPMS system? "
PurigeN98™ will stabilize your tire pressure over a longer period of time
and is less susceptible to pressure changes from cold to hot. Consistent tire pressure
longer will reduce the number of faults detected by the TPMS system.
|
"Do I still need to check tire pressure?"
Yes, you should always check your pressure at least every 30 days. However you will
find that your pressure is consistently maintained over a longer time period and
that you will not have to add pressure as often.
|
"Do I need it in my spare tire? "
Yes, spare tires are often neglected and sit idle for long periods of time, all
the while losing pressure and oxidizing. With PurigeN98™ your spare is more
likely to maintain proper pressure over a longer period of time.
|
"Is PurigeN98™ compatible with my internal tire balancing (powder,
beads,)? "
Yes, it would be hard to find a better operating environment than PurigeN98™,
due to the absence of moisture.
|
"What do I do if I have to add pressure and can’t get PurigeN98™?
"
No problem, simply ad compressed air to reach the proper pressure. As soon as you
can go back to your PurigeN98™ dealer and have them purge and refill your
tire with PurigeN98™. Be sure your dealer checks for leaks and problems or
damage to your tire.
|
"Why is purity level of the nitrogen so important?"
Many studies and the scientific evidence show that you need a minimum 95% purity
level in your tire after inflation with nitrogen. Any purity level below 95% in
the tire will result in diminished benefits. The only way to achieve this is to
deliver a high purity to the tire to offset the effects of residual oxygen and moisture.
PurigeN98™ guarantees at least 98% purity delivered to your tire resulting
in 95% or greater purity level in your tire giving you all the benefits of nitrogen
inflation.
|
"How does the use of PurigeN98™ increase
my fuel economy? "
Tires that are properly inflated to the proper pressure have less rolling resistance.
A tire just 10% low will increase fuel use by 2%, 20% low will increase fuel use
by 4%. PurigeN98™ helps keep tires inflated at the proper pressure consistently
over a longer period of time, which results in less rolling resistance and increased
fuel economy. It is estimated that 85% of the driving public drives on under inflated
tires and that results in a cost of 10 million gallons of fuel per day. Tires inflate
with PurigeN98™ will save money.
|
"Is nitrogen heavier than air "
The variance in weight is at the fourth decimal, so it is completely insignificant.
|
How does PurigeN98™ make my ride smoother?
Auto manufactures design their cars and trucks with performance in mind and recommend
certain tire pressures to insure that performance. PurigeN98™ inflation provides
an opportunity to meet those manufacturer specified pressure requirements more consistently
and over a longer period of time.
|
Will the use of PurigeN98™ affect my tire warranty?
All major tire manufactures have stated that they will honor their warranty with
the use of nitrogen.
|
Will it self-seal a puncture?
No, Nitrogen will not seal punctures. It will, however provide peace of mind in
knowing that your tires are properly inflated, more consistently, over a longer
period of time. By reducing tire aging, Nitrogen will keep the tire at its original
tire flexibility, puncture resistance and strength for s much longer time. High
purity nitrogen does not degrade the tire, as compressed air does, so tires last
longer.
|
Do I need to put nitrogen in all four tires?
Yes. In order to avoid pressure differences in the tires, PurigeN98™ must
be put into all the tires. Compressed air will not hold the pressure as consistently
as Purigen98 and the result in some tires inflated with compressed air will have
low pressure. Low pressure will affect the drivability of the vehicle.
|
Is PurigeN98™ good for all tires?
Yes. ATV’s, trailers, off-road, motorcycles, RV’s or any tire can and
will benefit from the use of PurigeN98™.
|
. I have run flat tires. How will nitrogen affect my run flat tires?
Besides the normal benefits of PurigeN98™, the gas offers even greater benefits
when used in run flats and sports cars. First of all, finely tuned sports cars are
designed to give the driver the best feeling and response on the road. There is
no better inflation gas than PurigeN98™ to get optimum performance out of
the vehicles precisely engineered drive train. Run flat tire pressure needs to be
checked even more frequently than normal tires, because it is virtually impossible
to see if a run flat tire is low. Under inflated run flat tires, even when flat,
look fully inflated. PurigeN98™ will minimize the risk of being low. In addition,
when a run flat tire is used in an under inflated condition, it builds up tremendous
heat. Higher temperatures lead to increased aging and premature failure. Lastly,
high performance run flat tires are very expensive. Any age gain associated with
the use of PurigeN98™ will lead to long term savings.
|
"Do auto manufacturers endorse nitrogen? "
Some do, such as every Volvo in Europe. Here in the U.S. they have not for several
reasons, one being there is no infrastructure to support the use of nitrogen. That
is rapidly changing across the country. Also take into consideration the fact that
the benefit of nitrogen has been known for some time but has not been acknowledged.
There may be significant legal liability for past claims and law suits on their
part. Plus in the past it wasn't affordable, but now with the advent of PurigeN98™
it is available to the general public.
