Hi Guys,
I was about to buy a pump for my air bed... but i always carry a tyre inflator around. Does anyone know of an adapter i can use to pump up an air bed with it? I need a male tyre valve to male air bed size bit.

looks like you can do it with just the exhaust...

Thinking about it in a less comedy way. Would it not just kill you with exhaust gasses as it inevitably leaks out all night?

I used to use an electric tire pump until I over inflated my air bed and popped it. I used an old tire valved pushed in to the inlet.
It takes too long and is noisy.
Get a proper inflator, it's a lot faster.

You can get an adapter, I have one for my tyre pump but as I'll have my air bed pump with me would you like to borrow that?

I may flutter my eyelashes at one of you on Saturday as I only have a footpump
Also, imagine using your exhaust to do it when you have an XUD

tyre inflator pumps will get pretty hot trying to do an airbed as you need lots of frre air volume not pressure.
hence why turbochargers work quite well.

Turbocharger FTW.
I remember doing mine with the GT2052V at FCS '11 I think... Never seen a bed inflate that fast!
