I have had to use Fix-A-Flat twice. Thankfully, both incidents happened in a parking lot that was close to a store that sold Fix-A-Flat.
The product worked well enough in both incidents to help bring me safely home. However, be aware that 1 can of Fix-A-Flat may not sufficiently inflate the tire - it depends on how bad the leak is. The problem arises when a significant volume of the air you put in using Fix-A-Flat escapes through the leak.
In the first incident, I had to hook up a bike pump to the tire, and after working up a sweat and enduring the sniggers from a few passersby, I managed to get the tire fully inflated. In the second incident, I didn't have a bike pump. I had to empty 2 20-ounce cans of Fix-A-Flat just to get the tire merely partially inflated.
Pros
----
- Fast Sealing
The compound works fast - in a matter of minutes! The car has to be driven for a few minutes to ensure that the rubber compound evenly coats the inner wall of the tire to plug up any leaks.
Cons
----
- Insufficient Air
Depending on how much the escaping air is antagonizing your efforts to inflate the tire, 1 can of Fix-A-Flat may not be enough.
