Unless a dealer buys and “maintains” a true nitrogen generator, the nitrogen their tire inflator will not produce nitrogen that’s much better than what we already breathe. I have, and use daily in my business two nitrogen generators that produce just under pure nitrogen. N2 is a critical component in our production process. Initial cost was just over $30,000 each. Yearly filter maintenance runs $900 per year, per generator (quarterly, semi-annually, annually filter changes). I highly doubt any auto dealer in the US actually uses a near pure nitrogen in their tire filling stations. And nitrogen generators do not push high pressures. We push about 75 psi, but our purpose is not based psi but rather volume of nitrogen.
