Product Information

Full details

The CarPlan Flat Mate Tyre Inflator is designed for drivers who need a fast, temporary solution for tyre punctures. Its key benefit is the ability to seal and inflate a tyre in approximately 90 seconds without requiring tools or wheel removal, helping you get back on the road quickly. A caveat is that it's best suited for medium tyres (15-16 inches) and is an emergency repair, not a permanent fix. This 3-pack of 400mL treatments offers convenience for multiple vehicles or future needs.

FAQs

How long does the repair last?

CarPlan Flat Mate is an emergency repair. It is designed to get you moving safely to a tyre repair centre. A permanent repair or replacement by a professional is essential.

Can I use this on motorbike tyres?

Yes, the product is suitable for use on motorbike tyres, provided they are within the 15 to 16-inch diameter range.

What happens if the puncture is on the sidewall?

This product is generally not effective for punctures on the sidewall of the tyre. It is best suited for tread area punctures.

How do I know if my tyre is 15 or 16 inches?

Check the sidewall of your tyre. You will see a number followed by 'R' (e.g., R15 or R16). This indicates the rim diameter in inches.

Do I need any tools to use this?

No, no tools or dismantling are required. Simply attach the can to the tyre valve and press the button.

Can this damage my tyre?

The product is designed to seal and inflate without damaging your tyre. However, it is always recommended to have the tyre professionally inspected after using an emergency repair product.

What is the shelf life of the product?

Please refer to the expiry date printed on the can. It is important to use the product before this date for optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Tyre does not inflate or seal properly.

Ensure the can is shaken vigorously before use and the nozzle is securely attached to the valve. Check that the puncture is not too large or on the sidewall. This product is for temporary emergency use; major damage may require professional repair.

Can is not dispensing product.

Ensure the nozzle is fully screwed onto the valve and that there are no blockages. Check the can is at room temperature; extreme cold can affect performance.

Tyre pressure drops again after a short drive.

The sealant may not have fully distributed, or the puncture may be too severe for the product to seal effectively. Drive slowly to a tyre repair centre immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the handbrake is firmly applied.
  2. Remove the valve cap from the punctured tyre.
  3. Shake the can vigorously.
  4. Screw the nozzle of the CarPlan Flat Mate can firmly onto the tyre valve.
  5. Press the button on the can to release the contents.
  6. Once the can is empty, remove the nozzle and replace the valve cap.
  7. Drive the vehicle slowly for a few miles (approx. 3-5 miles) to allow the sealant to distribute and seal the puncture.
  8. Have the tyre inspected and repaired by a professional as soon as possible.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for car, caravan, trailer, motorbike, and van tyres.
  • Specifically designed for tyres with a diameter between 15 and 16 inches. To check your tyre's diameter, look for the number next to 'R' on the tyre sidewall (e.g., R15, R16).

Care:

  • Store cans in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Do not puncture or incinerate cans, even when empty.
  • Dispose of empty cans responsibly according to local regulations.
