Crank down the air pressure if you do this.  If the filter sock is 
"gummy" you might actually blow it off the tube on which its mounted.   
BTDT.  Also... if you filled the tank before the car was parked, you'll 
wanna be VERY careful how much air you inject into the tank especially 
if the surface the car is on happens to be sloped a bit towards the 
driver side.  It's possible for the air to actually blow a splash of 
gasoline out of the filler spout and onto the next door neighbor's 
yard.  Gasoline is a natural grass killer.  It will turn grass into a 
light brownish beige shade of fine straw in a day or so and nothing will 
wanna grow there again for almost a month.


You need not ask how I know this...


I did find that dark green Krylon spray paint is a fairly good color 
match for grass.  Krylon paint itself is fairly crappy paint compared to 
other brands so painting the neighbor's yard was a good use for it.   
And, she evidently never noticed since she never said anything.


Stay safe...   :-)
