Flat Tires and Compressed Gas cyclinder replacement

Hello All,

I am new to the group and figured this woudl be the best place to post this message.

After 10 years of driving my 91 Z28 I finally got a flat and had to breakout the spare tire (in the rain). Worked like a champ once it was filled with the compressed gas (Carbon Dioxide) that comes in the cyclinder.

The cyclinder directions state that a local GM dealer can refill the cyclinder, but of course, these are discontinued since last year.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement or the one I have refilled?

It's part number is 9590678 and is for Spare tire sizes:
E78 - 14
F78 - 14
P195/75D14

Thanks for any feedback you can provide!

Save the hassle of compressed air tanks; Go to your local hardware store and get a 12v air compressor. It will inflate an infinite number of spares, as well as give you a way to air up when you're at the track.

You can refill at a fire extinguisher place if they happen to have the correct fitting.
