Add-On Keeps Brakes From Freezing Up
 ✖  |
Wyatt Van Damme has a simple solution for frozen brakes with The Meth Head canister. Van Damme recalls fighting with frozen brakes while growing up on the family farm. While injecting methyl hydrate into a brake system does the job, it’s difficult and tends to spill.
“The Meth Head canister is really just a chunk of pipe with three legs and two airline connections,” says Van Damme. “It provides a closed system that won’t spill. Just hook it up once a month in the winter or every few months, depending on how many miles you go. In between, disconnect it and store it in your shop.”
Simple instructions on use match the simple design. Instead of trying to pour methyl hydrate into the glad hand on the trailer air line, set up The Meth Head behind the cab or sleeper and connect it to the coupler from the truck and the glad hand on the trailer air line.
“Once it’s connected, close the valve and hit the air brake button,” says Van Damme. “Disconnect it, and away you go. It’s an easy preventative.”
Van Damme used the skills he developed as the owner of Triple Pass Welding to design and fabricate The Meth Head. He entered it in the Manitoba Ag Days Innovation Showcase and won the top prize in the Farm Built Solutions category.
The Meth Head is priced at $300 CAD and is available directly from Van Damme.
