Not sure if anyone has done this or not, especially given how easy it is to just carry around an emergency air compressor in the trunk, but has anyone tried to repurpose the built in air compressor as a sort of emergency tire inflator? I haven't converted my UL to regular shocks yet, but I am thinking when I do that I could make use of the air compressor by tapping the air lines somewhere and putting a hose on it, and putting a switch in place of the level sensors. If anyone has looked into this and found it works or fails, I'd appreciate a link to the post. Otherwise when I finally convert to standard shocks I will see what I can do and post back here.

Thanks in advance guys.

 

Just speaking off the cuff here, I don’t even own an UL.
I’m skeptical the small pump would generate enough power to inflate a tire.
I could be wrong tho…

 

That would be a neat repurpose of the compressor

 

I mean I've seen smaller compressors do it. I don't know what pressure the Shocks run at but it can keep that system afloat. I would think as long as you consider this an emergency use and understand it would take awhile, it would be a way to avoid carrying an extra pump in the car. I reckon it would still be faster than using a bike pump, which I have done before. Idk just a thought for a future project

 

This is from a JDM UCF21's manual and it may be a bit different from a UCF31, the relief pressure should be 932-971kPa. But it also says that the time length should be within 15 seconds.
