FAQs
How long does the temporary repair last?
The sealant provides a temporary fix to allow you to drive to a repair shop. It is not a permanent solution and the tyre should be inspected and repaired or replaced by a professional as soon as possible.
Can this be used on motorcycle tyres?
No, this RAC Emergency Tyre Sealant is specifically designed for car tyres only and is not suitable for motorcycle, bicycle, or other types of tyres.
What is the maximum size of puncture this can seal?
The sealant is effective for sealing punctures up to 6mm in diameter.
Is this a permanent tyre repair?
No, this is an emergency roadside product designed to get you to a place where a permanent repair can be made. It is not a substitute for professional tyre repair or replacement.
Do I need to remove the object that caused the puncture?
It is generally recommended to remove the object (like a nail or screw) if it is safe to do so before applying the sealant, to allow for a better seal. However, if the object is firmly lodged, the sealant may still be effective.
What should I do after using the tyre sealant?
After applying the sealant, drive slowly for a few miles to help it distribute. Then, check the tyre pressure and inflate to the recommended level. Proceed directly to a tyre repair professional for inspection and a permanent fix.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes a 300ml bottle of RAC Tyre Sealant, two pairs of plastic gloves, a hand wipe, and a spare valve core.
Troubleshooting
Sealant not injecting into the tyre
Ensure the nozzle is securely attached to the valve stem and the valve is in the open position. Check that the object causing the puncture has been removed (if safe).
Tyre not inflating after use
The puncture may be too large for the sealant to handle, or there might be another issue with the tyre or valve. Seek professional assistance.
Sealant leaking from the puncture area
The puncture may be larger than 6mm or located in a difficult area like the sidewall. This product is for temporary use only; professional repair is required.
