Abstract

Apparatus is disclosed for filling a pneumatic tire with fluid which solidifies on curing, including a fluid pumping connection to the tire air valve, a tire penetrating connection having an air relief passage to permit trapped air to escape from the tire, and a sensing and safety circuit for stopping the filling operation whenever the tire becomes filled with fluid or whenever the air escape mechanism ceases operating.
