# REFILLING CO2 TIRE INFLATORS INFORMATION FOR STOWAWAY SPARE

INFORMATION ON REFILLING Subject: C02 TIRE INFLATORS

#### Models Affected: 1983-92 FIREBIRD MODELS

Some owners of 1983-92 Firebird models continue to use the stowaway (folding) spare tire. A blue, refillable C02 inflator is provided to inflate this spare tire. Once used, this inflator canister must then be refilled with C02 for re-use. Some customer inquiries have indicated difficulty in finding a source for refilling.

One source for refilling may be your local fire equipment company. Many of these locations refill C02 fire extinguishers and can also refill these tire inflators. Please assist your customers in finding such a location in your local area.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
