Nothing happened, they just did their job.
Until now this trailer had just been driven around town and to the next town over in cooler weather.
One of the tires had a slow leak, leaked down to 20psi and refilled with air. I am just going to keep refilling the slow leaker with air. The others will be topped off with, CO2 one time then 404a the next, as needed.

I have had the smaller tires on the 4x8 trailer on there now for months and done lots of small tows. They are still fine.
This is the 26 foot over all (18' long by 101'' wide actual deck space) deck over trailer I build out of scrap yard metal from the scrap yard, using my high modified/self build welding machines. What could possibly go wrong?
Empty weight on the trailer is around a ton, plus what ever that hunk of german steel weighs.



Helping a friend clean out their garage so they could move we discovered a full bottle of R-22 from her dads HVAC repair days, which they gave to me.
I will likely trade this R-22 for more R-404a.
HVAC companies get suspicious if some one wanders in wanting to sell a bulk bottle of refrigerant. They assume it was stolen and that you are a crack head.
Since I am licensed to handle bulk R-22 and I offer them a trade that favors them very well they work with me.
So it looks like I will keep doing this.

Now that I have the flir I can get a side by side comparison of the air filled tire next to the magic blend and once and for all see if there is a difference.
What I would expect to see if it works, on an air filled tire versus a blend filled tire is a slightly cooler tread and shoulder area with a slightly warmer side wall and rim.

I have not filled any of these tires aside from the slow leaker since june.
