<If not, I'll probably try one of those fix-a-flat cans, unless there's
some reason why I shouldn't. >
The first thing to do with the fix-a-flat is determine if the propellant
or any of the sealing ingredients are flammable. I have heard stories,
possibly apocryphal, of tires sealed this way exploding on tire repair
machines when the time came for a permanent repair. The story goes that
when the tool rolled the bead off the rim, a small spark occurred and
all of the material in the tire exploded. Tire repair people definitely
appreciate being notified if they are breaking down a tire that has any
fix-a-flat material in it.
