Some of those "tire in a can" solutions are dangerous and at a minimum, very messy. There was a fairly recent explosion of a tire repair shop where the shop wasn't informed of fix-a-flat in the tire - the tire exploded levelling the shop, the tire changer, the shop owner and tire owner.
Some sports cars (BMW, VW's P-division, and Nissan) provide tire-in-a-can as their preferred method of flat repair. These probably aren't flammable BUT they aren't nearly as inexpensive as the stuff you can buy at your local Wal-Mart. Damn - I'm starting to sound like an "old fart" too. --- Iñaki Berroeta <[email protected]> wrote: > Also carry Fix-a-flat in case you or whoever is using your car > consider > using it rather than changing the tire in the middle of nowhere. ===== Matthew Yip http://www.geocities.com/mgyip/ '81 Rabbit diesel - '87 GTi 16v "General Li" - '88 M5 - '99 F350 psd __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
