I guess I better carry a 12 volt compressor in the trunk along with a plug kit and a can of "Fix-a-Flat." Question is which kit to buy? I heard stories about blowing fuses being a problem. So, which kit is reliable and won't blow any fuses? What do you guys carry? Small, compact, cased and easy to use?

Personally I would try to find an oem z06 inflator so you know it's designed for the car and shouldn't pop the fuse.

If you are concerned about blowing a fuse or drawing down your battery, get a cordless inflator. Really handy.



Or a combination jump starter and compressor:

Best one I've ever had:

I just got the Ryobi inflator pictured above:

Only $20 if you already have a Ryobi battery.

I don't know if it's the best, but this is what I keep in the car.
If I remember right it cost about $20

I ended up with the Slime X2, which is a twin cylinder model that comes with a nice hard case. I don't know the exact specs, but when I air back up after running the truck in the dunes, it's pretty fast. Does require a direct connect to the battery, but I wouldn't try using a cigar lighter adapter for a compressor, unless you have all day.

I got the bigger one from harbor freight that has clamps to go right on the battery. It came with a case and worked good when I tried it out.

Been carrying a Slime unit on both bikes for years. Moved the one from one bike to the Vette when I put the new tires on.

This is the best one I have used.

I carry a Campbell-Hausfield air compressor I bought at Wal-Mart. Haven’t had any problems using it.

Velocity_Vette

I have a Kensun D1001.



What I like about it is;

- it's very affordable at $25-$30 so if it breaks its easy to replace.
- it's small & easy to use. It easily stows away in a side rear bin.
- it has both 12v and wall outlet provisions and switches between each one with a switch.

I run it every so often seasonally just to keep it going and ensure it works, usually to adjust tire pressures for the season.

The above "type" of 12 volt air compressor is what I use....purchased from Harbor Freight for about $35.00...love it.

Got this one - https://www.harborfreight.com/12v-10...sor-69284.html - from Harbor Freight. Works great. Used it to inflate two Ram 3500 dually tires to 50lbs (from dead flat) in the parking lot of harbor freight. Was a believer then.

After many years, I went thru (broke) the yellow tubing/hose. Purchased at WalMart a replacement hose, changed the connectors and all is well.

I have the one in the corner of the add for 59.99. Puts out good amount of air but the gauge is not accurate. I didn’t want to have to go through a fuse.

I have this one and it works great ! I like that it hooks up to the battery and it inflates really quick !

laurent_zo6

I have never found one with an accurate gauge. I always use a tire pressure gauge.
