How many cans of fix a flat can i put in one single tire?

  • Jolynne Apr 09, 2012

    I already put one can in and I'm not sure if it was the right size can. Therefore I was wondering about putting another fix a flat in the same tire. If the can was too small for my tires. The i would obviously need extra. Right?????

It is going to depend on the size of the tire. You should not use fit a flat to repair the tire.it won't hold for a super long time. It will give you enough time to get you to an auto shop. They can fix it there for you so you don't have to buy a new tire. http://www.terpstrasales.com/service-description.htm?id=13670&name=tire-repair

Call the manufacturer or call a tire place. Fix-a-flat is just meant to get you to a place where you can get the tire repaired. Tire repairs can be one of the cheapest car repairs possible, so I would go with just getting it patched over filling the thing with temporary fix and having to get a new tire. http://www.terpstrasales.com/service-description.htm?id=13670&name=tire-repair

It depends on if you want to be able to fix the tire. the compound in fix-a-flat will keep the patch from sealing inside the tire.
so instead of a $15 repair, it might be a $120 tire.

    You can put in as many as needed to get vehicle to repair center, fix-a-flat is a temporary fix. It doesn't actually fix a tire..
    Drive carefully, and under 35 mph if possible.

tip

Flat tires

If you have a flat tire before you go to the trouble of taking the tire off the vehicle buy and keep a tire repair kit for tubless tires. If you get a flat, jack up vehicle and find problem with tire. Ninety percent of the time it is a nail in the tire. With tire still on the vehicle pull out nail and follow instructions to put patch in. ( ex. pull nail out. put glue on tool supplied. place in hole. put patch on tool and dunk in glue. Insert patch into hole and twist to insert patch. Cut off excess patch. Your done. Inflate tire. ) This saves you time and money and is as good a fix as you will get at a garage. Good Luck

Can you put fix a flat in a nitrogen tire?

Yes, you can put fix a flat in a nitrogen tire. Just remember that fix a flat is often a temporary fix and you should get the tire properly patched or replaced. I have heard of people driving forever with fix a flat and some where they just make it to a mechanic's. Good luck! http://www.xlautony.com/products

Tire / Slow Leak Question

Dunk this tire so you know where the leak is coming from to start with so you know how to address the repair needed. Many shops will charge you and extra $10 for having to deal with that slime stuff. The fix a flat is not a repair.
