Abstract
A service truck for servicing tires on off the road vehicles such as agricultural tractors includes an engine and an air compressor selectively operable by the engine. The vehicle includes a liquid tank for receiving and temporarily holding a liquid removed from such tires. A vacuum may be applied to the interior of the tires being serviced to withdraw the liquid for placement in the tanks by taking advantage of the vacuum present at the inlet of the compressor.
