FAQs
How long does the CarPlan Flat Mate last?
The CarPlan Flat Mate provides a temporary seal and inflation. It is designed to get you to a tyre repair shop, not as a permanent fix. You should have the tyre professionally inspected and repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Can I use this on any tyre?
This product is specifically designed for tyres 17 inches and above, suitable for medium to large cars, 4x4s, and vans. It is not recommended for smaller tyres found on compact cars.
Does this damage my tyre?
The product is designed to seal and inflate the tyre without causing damage. However, it is essential to have the tyre inspected by a professional after using the emergency repair, as they can confirm the condition of the tyre and the sealant.
How do I know what my tyre diameter is?
You can find your tyre's diameter on the sidewall of the tyre. Look for the number displayed next to the 'R', for example, 'R17' indicates a 17-inch wheel diameter.
What should I do after using the Flat Mate?
After using the product, immediately drive the vehicle for several miles at a moderate speed (e.g., 10-20 mph) to help distribute the sealant evenly inside the tyre. Then, proceed directly to a tyre repair shop for a permanent solution.
How many cans do I need?
This product comes in a pack of three 500mL cans. For most emergency situations on medium to large vehicles, one can is sufficient to seal and inflate a tyre. The pack size provides spares.
Troubleshooting
Tyre does not inflate significantly
Ensure the can nozzle is screwed on tightly to the tyre valve. Check that the tyre puncture is not excessively large, as very large holes may not seal effectively. For very slow leaks, the sealant may take a few minutes to take effect.
Product does not dispense
Shake the can vigorously before attempting to use it. Ensure the nozzle is correctly attached to the valve and the valve itself is not blocked. If the can is expired, it may not function correctly.
Sealant appears to be leaking after initial use
Drive the vehicle immediately for a few miles at a moderate speed as instructed to help the sealant spread and set. If a leak persists, it may indicate a puncture too large for the product to seal effectively. Seek professional assistance.
