Should I use a puncture sealant and aerosol inflation product (i.e. Fix-A-Flat) in a flat tire?
Central Tire strongly opposes the use of this material. Many under inflated tires incur structural damage that is not visible unless the tire is demounted and inspected. Inflation by any means could result in sudden explosive tire failure while being inflated or operated on the highway. Also some aerosol inflation products use flammable substances such as propane as the propellant. This is explosive and has resulted in serious injury and death. A puncture sealant material will also damage an Active Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor necessitating replacement of the sensor (see question 12). Always advise tire personnel if you have used any type of sealant material in a tire.
