... They then remove the stems, and re-seal the the tires onto the rims. They had some low temperature sealant, as most of the truck work they did was for the trucks on the ice road in the McKenzie River ice road for the oil patch.

... A big problem was the compressed air would cool as it expanded. This would often freeze a stem valve. You could get compressed air in the tire, but the stem would not seal when the pressure was removed, as the ice had frozen the stem valve open.
