FAQs
What size punctures can this sealant fix?
The RAC Emergency Tyre Sealant is designed to seal punctures up to 6mm in diameter, located in the tread area of car tyres.
Is this a permanent repair solution?
No, this sealant provides a temporary emergency repair to help you reach a safe place or a repair shop. It is not a permanent fix.
How long does the temporary repair last?
The duration of the temporary repair can vary, but it is advised to drive at a reduced speed and for a limited distance, seeking professional inspection or repair as soon as possible.
Can I use this on a damaged sidewall?
This sealant is intended for punctures in the tread area. It is not designed for repairing sidewall damage.
What is included in the kit?
The kit typically includes the 300ml RAC Tyre Sealant bottle, 2x plastic gloves, a hand wipe, a red warning dust cap, and a spare valve core.
Do I need to remove the object that caused the puncture?
For best results, it is generally recommended to leave the object (like a nail or screw) in the tyre until just before applying the sealant, and then remove it. This can help the sealant work more effectively.
What should I do after using the tyre sealant?
After using the sealant and re-inflating the tyre, drive cautiously to the nearest tyre repair centre for a professional inspection and repair or replacement.
Troubleshooting
Sealant does not seem to be injecting
Ensure the connection to the tyre valve is secure and that the valve itself is functioning correctly. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.
Tyre will not inflate after applying sealant
Check for a complete seal at the valve connection. Ensure the puncture is not too large or in a location the sealant cannot address. Try re-inflating the tyre directly without sealant to check for major leaks.
Sealant seems to have leaked out
The puncture may be larger than 6mm or located on the sidewall. This sealant is for temporary repairs up to 6mm in the tread. Seek professional assistance.
