Product Information

Full details

The CarPlan Flat Mate Emergency Puncture Repair is designed for drivers of medium to large vehicles, including 4x4s and vans, who need a rapid roadside solution to get back on the road safely. Its primary benefit is the ability to seal and inflate a flat tyre in approximately 90 seconds without the need for jacks, tools, or wheel removal. However, it is important to note that this is an emergency repair product intended for temporary use and you should still have your tyre professionally inspected or replaced as soon as possible.

FAQs

Can I use this on a sidewall puncture?

No, this product is designed for tread punctures only. Sidewall damage compromises the structural integrity of the tyre and requires a professional replacement.

How long can I drive on a repaired tyre?

This is a temporary emergency repair. You should drive slowly to the nearest service centre and have the tyre replaced as soon as possible.

Will this product damage my tyre pressure sensors?

While generally safe, modern tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) may get coated in sealant. Always inform your tyre technician that a repair spray was used.

Do I need to check the tyre pressure after using the repair?

Yes, once you have safely reached a destination, check the pressure with a reliable gauge to ensure the tyre is correctly inflated for your vehicle.

Is this safe for all tyre types?

It is specifically formulated for tyres 17 inches and above found on medium to large cars, 4x4s, and vans.

Troubleshooting

Tyre does not inflate after connection

Check that the nozzle is screwed tightly onto the tyre valve and ensure the valve core is not blocked or damaged.

Sealant leaking from the puncture hole

This may occur if the puncture is too large or located on the sidewall; in such cases, the product will not be effective and recovery services should be called.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely fast 90-second inflation time
  • No tools or technical knowledge required
  • Ideal for larger wheel diameters (17 inches and up)
  • Compact enough to store in any boot or under-seat compartment

Cons

  • Intended as a temporary repair only
  • Not suitable for sidewall punctures
  • Single-use canisters meant for one-time emergency applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using, always confirm that your tyre diameter is compatible by checking the sidewall marking. Look for the letter 'R' followed by a number, such as R17 or R19; if the number is 17 or higher, this product is perfectly suited. To ensure safety and longevity of the product, store the canisters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent pressure fluctuations within the container. Always inspect the canister before use to ensure the nozzle is clean and free of debris. Post-repair, limit your driving speed and proceed directly to a professional tyre fitter, informing them that a chemical sealant has been applied inside the tyre.
