How to Add Tire Sealant?

Inject the tire sealant through the tire valve. Here is some information about tire sealant: 1. Tire sealant is a white foam-like liquid stored in a compressed canister. During use, simply press the nozzle, and the sealant will be injected into the tire through the valve. While driving, the sealant will evenly coat the inside of the tire, forming a sealing film that helps repair the puncture. 2. Compared to other tire repair methods, tire sealant offers the advantage of convenience and speed, making it suitable for emergency situations. However, tire sealant has limitations—it can only repair small punctures and provides relatively short-term effectiveness.

I've been driving long distances and have used tire sealant several times when I had a flat tire—it's quite convenient. First, park the car on a safe, flat surface, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake to ensure stability. Take out the tire sealant bottle, which usually has detailed instructions—read them carefully. Remove the small cap from the tire valve stem, then securely screw or clamp the sealant's connector onto it. Next, quickly inject the liquid and air; shaking the bottle before pumping it in helps distribute the sealant more evenly. After finishing, drive the car immediately for at least a minute or two to let the tire rotate and spread the sealant to seal the leak. Then, use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure and inflate it to the normal level. Remember, this is only a temporary fix—it's best to visit a professional repair shop within 24 hours to patch or replace the tire. Don’t delay too long to avoid worsening the problem. Also, be extra cautious when driving at high speeds—safety always comes first.

Back when I was a newbie, I learned this trick from my first flat tire. The steps are crucial: Park on level ground, turn off the engine, and stay put. Read the instructions on the bottle—each brand might have slight variations. Carefully remove the valve cap, making sure not to lose that tiny lid. Firmly attach the sealant bottle’s nozzle to the valve stem, then tighten or lock it in place. Gently press the pump or shake the bottle to inject the sealant, avoiding haste to prevent spills. After injecting, wait a few seconds, then drive slowly for a few hundred meters to let the liquid spread inside the tire. Once stopped, check the tire pressure and top it up to the manufacturer’s recommended level. Wear gloves throughout to stay clean, and avoid shaking the car to prevent hazards. Afterward, head to a repair shop ASAP for a permanent fix—don’t rely on this solution for too long. This method has saved me multiple times, and now I always keep a spare bottle in the car.

My family often drives on highways to pick up and drop off kids, so we handle tire issues ourselves. Simply put: Park on a flat surface, turn off the engine, and get the tools. Connect the dedicated tire repair fluid bottle to the valve stem interface, inject the fluid while pumping air. Immediately drive for a few minutes to distribute the liquid, then finally check the tire pressure. Key points: Choose a sunny day to avoid increased risks on wet roads, stay away from the car during the operation to prevent accidents. Bottled repair fluid is convenient and quick—keep one at home for emergencies to save money and hassle. Don’t forget follow-up checks to ensure safe family trips.
