Product Information

Full details

The CarPlan Flat Mate Emergency Puncture Repair is a vital tool for drivers of cars, caravans, trailers, motorbikes, and vans who need a fast, temporary solution to a flat tyre without manual labor. Its key benefit is the ability to seal and inflate a tyre in approximately 90 seconds, completely bypassing the need for tools or a spare wheel change; however, it is specifically optimized for medium-sized tyres between 15 and 16 inches and should be treated as a temporary emergency measure rather than a permanent repair.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this product repair all types of punctures?

No, it is designed for tread punctures. It will not repair sidewall damage or large tears in the rubber.

How do I know if my tyre is the right size?

Check the sidewall of your tyre for the letter 'R' followed by a number. This product is intended for tyres labeled R15 to R16.

Can I drive at high speeds after using this?

No. This is a temporary repair to get you to a service station. You should drive at a reduced speed and avoid long distances.

Will this ruin my tyre's pressure sensor?

While most modern sealants are safe, you should inform the tyre technician that you have used an emergency sealant so they can clean the wheel and sensor appropriately during the repair.

Is this a permanent fix?

No, it is an emergency solution. You must have your tyre professionally inspected or replaced as soon as you reach your destination.

Troubleshooting

Tyre does not inflate after application

Ensure the puncture is not on the sidewall, as sealants cannot repair side damage. Also, verify that the valve core is not blocked and that the connection to the nozzle is secure.

Canister is leaking during use

Ensure the nozzle is screwed firmly onto the tyre valve stem. If it continues to leak, remove the canister and ensure the valve threads are free of debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely fast 90-second application time
  • Removes the danger and difficulty of changing a tyre in traffic
  • No mechanical skills or physical strength required
  • Prevents damage to the tyre casing during inflation
  • Compact canisters are easy to store in any boot or storage compartment

Cons

  • Not suitable for tyres outside the 15-16 inch range
  • Provides only a temporary fix to reach a repair shop
  • Does not repair sidewall punctures or large blowouts
  • The tyre will likely need professional inspection or replacement after use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before purchasing or using this product, always verify your tyre specifications. Check the sidewall of your tyre for the size code; look for the letter 'R' followed by a number, such as R15 or R16. If your tyre size falls within this range, the product is compatible.

Care Instructions

  • Store canisters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Check the expiration or pressure status of your stored canisters annually.
  • Do not store in extreme heat, such as in a vehicle cabin during a heatwave, as this can affect canister integrity.
  • After using the product to reach safety, ensure the tyre is inspected by a professional technician as soon as possible, as the sealant is intended for emergency use only.
