Nomads,
I did not know that 
Thanks for the clarification....point taken.
Sure hope I never get banned from this forum...I am trying to behave myself

Well, I stand corrected, not sure how I missed that one. The double barrel foot pump looks pretty good; and, about what Shari was asking for.
Getting one in the US or Mexico might be interesting though.

Gosh, I thought that was all pretty creative and original holding out of the olive branch. Sorry you found a negative there.
Plagarism??? How so? Isn't that the unauthorized usage of someone elses written work?
I guess in this day and age we need to have authorization from someone to perform an act of kindness, but not acts of unkindness, negativity and hate?
Offer still and will stand. Just a little more difficult to impliment now.

muchas gracias for all your suggestions....nope,nope, maybe is right...thanks for understanding motoged and gadget. Ken, is taht foot pump available
at Canadian Tire? Canuck amigos are heading down in May and maybe can bring us one...now about choices...we're in baja man so quick is not part of the
equation...good and cheap works for us. We've bought cheap and good 12 volt compressor types and they just don't last long enough. Susan..where do you
get that thing and can ya BBQ on it too? I appreciate all input and advice...we just bought a used compressor from a trooper's air conditioner and put
it onto our Trooper and rigged it to fill tires....works great but still want an emergency pump for Juan's pick up.

Shari, no sign of it on Canadian Tire's website... indeed, I can find no sign so far of it anywhere outside of the UK or Europe. However, while
searching I did come across these troubling user reviews,
"My footpump lasted one week before the plastic parts gave way and air was blowing everywhere but in the tyre. inflated my car tyres on the saturday
and checked again the following saturday, it gave up completely when inflating my bicycle tyres so it only lasted for three (2 1/2) uses. Rubbish. I
give it one star to reflect that it did actually work twice."
and
"I bought this believing it was a good quality pump. After about 5 minutes use, the pipe separated from the pump body. The engineering is crap - what
they've done is used a metal to plastic screw attachment, presumably to cut cost."
at Amazon.uk
That doesn't exactly sound Baja-dependable...

They dive with a Hooka compressor.
There is no high-pressure scuba compressor in town, YET.
Eric ?? Mr. Gypsy ??
I have many tanks to fill - trade you some tanks for unlimited fills ?!

This looks like a great pump for the money.

Hi Shari,
I use a bike floor pump similar to the one pictured. It works fine but takes a lot of pumps. I notice MEC has one on their web site for under $25.

The double cylinder foot pump looks promising, but what I didn't see mentioned is jack your car up and take the weight off the tire before pumping up
and you will be much more successful.
