Can you read the instructions? I can't. Do you know what the pressure rating of the bottle is? DOT 1800? Just in case I ever need to refill it.

I still have my inflatable tire and CO2 canister too but, there is nothing left to read on mine.
I carry one of these spare tires instead. Actually take up less room. Also keep one in the trailer for the race car.
My owners manual says to "Contact your Pontiac dealer or an authorized fire extinguisher service facility for a refill".

Sorry mine is of no help, the label is toast, guess that’s why I need a new label for the cardboard holder.

You might want to post this in the members helping members forum as well. Not everyone reads the lobby.

I still have the original air cartridge and the original inflatable spare from my 79 Formula... in my GTO. Neither has been used.

I used one of those CO2 inflators on my dad's '79 Cadillac Seville in the '80's and then had it refilled at a fire extinguisher service station.

The stamped numbers at the top of the cylinder should indicate the working pressure for filling. A bigger problem might be getting the cylinder re-certified, as it's certainly out of date by now.
