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.
