Gas Stations Changing Air Pump Heads?

[scooterboy]

Okay, so all the gas/petrol stations around here have recently changed their air pump head from a T-head type to a straight Vertical head type, which may be excellent for cars, but makes it impossible to inflate my scooter tires/tyres.

Are there any T-head adapters/extensions that can be "plugged in" to these Vertical heads at the gas station?

NEW type at gas stations

 

OLD type at gas stations

I used to have one of these for my motorbike

We have one station 12 miles away....and never once have I been and found the ******* air pump working.....so bought this.

 

Job done.

Thanks muchly, scubascuba3 - looks like the correct thing and easy to keep in the scooter. I'll buy & try one out and see if it works. I presume one end just screws onto the scooter tire (after removing the plastic cap on the scooter tire valve) - and the other end connects to the air pump. 😊

 

To Will B - yep, our gas station air pumps are often broken or otherwise unusable - sometimes months before they're working again. I have an ordinary (manual) air pump at home, but now and then it's necessary to inflate the tires while on the road.  Nice pump, by the way!
