PSI at the Glad Hands?

[Third From Texas]

Not seeing it in the TM.

I seem to recall someone telling me that the M1078 A0 air pump holds the tanks at 290 psi.

I want to get a hose to keep in the toolbox for various situations and I need to make sure it is suitable. I've found hoses ranging from 100-300 psi.


Thanks

Truck has standard air system. Depending on the governor settings the air in the tanks should max out between 120 and 135psi.

290? Holy smokes, that guy never read the TM's!

Maybe hes adding all 3 tank pressures together but ran out of fingers and his shoes were on!

There's a fella in Montana who figured that, well the body temperature of a chicken is 99 degrees, so if he puts six chickens under the hood of his truck on cold winter days then that's, like, 600 degrees. Should start right up.....

Tough crowd this day. Talking about chickens I planted ten chickens head first in the ground and they did not grow. I then planted ten more chickens feet first but they died too. I got in contact with the U.S. Depart of AG. and they were confused too. Best thing they had to offer was just send them a soil sample.
Back to air pressure it is a learning thing. If you know trucks you know trucks and don't need a TM for most things.

Had to edit last line to include most things.

Now I'm curious what the psi for a chicken would be.

But I don't have the proper TM for a chicken (and I know it's not the same as a seagull).

We could start the learning process by finding out how much pressure it take someone to push an egg out there Donkey, Pressure gage in the mouth should work. Any Volunteers?

This thread is getting funner and funner. FYI, the only truck I know of that runs near 290 PSI is a Unimog, topping out at 18 bar. (Much more capacity from smaller tanks.)

I hear the pressure is higher towards the equator. What latitude is the truck parked at?

What makes those hands so glad?

 

[aleigh]

hands are full of glee
the pressure is increasing
will it ever stop
