yes, of course, that's how I pumped it with my mini pump. maybe I need pictures ...

but why use an adapter when you can just use the real thing ...?

hey check this out - using a dust cap as an adapter.

but see, the pin sticks up to activate the pin in the chuck.

as seen at the end of this video, after the adapter is screwed on there is no pin to activate the pin at the gas station. it's too deep inside the adapter and doesn't reach out far enough to hit the pin at the gas station chuck. anyway, that's what was happening to me.
