Another question about nitrogen. Shell claims their gas keeps your engine cleaner. Having worked in a chemical plant and refinery's and knowing that nitrogen is an inert gas and doesn't burn, how then can it keep engines cleaner. Nitrogen is used to purge other gases in welding and vessels. Just wondering , can anyone answer my thoughts. Wish I was still working and could ask the engineers.

The folks who buy them need a return on investment, so they tout the benefits of nitrogen so they can sell it to you. To my knowledge, there is no research that shows any thing that makes it worth the money that the consumer spends. It's a profit center (once the machine is paid off) for the business that buys the equipment, nothing more. Racing teams use nitrogen to fill the tires so that they can have a consistent rise in temperature and pressure because of the lack of moisture in the tire. Street tires don't need it. BillL

The claim is that nitrogen is better than compressed air in a tire. They claim that nitrogen is a dry gas and is free of moisture. It doesn't deteriorate the rubber and it is lss susceptible to air loss with temperature changes. I'd be interested to hear what the "group" thinks about this.
