Is this dangerous to fill up the leaky tire every day? I have already gotten the tire plugged once. Have you ever heard of someone filling up a tire every day because they are broke? I get free air at the local gas station.

Don't use fix a flat or you'll be making the tire a lot harder to fix right. Look for someone to fix it properly for 10 bucks. That thing can blow to pieces if it's low.

it should help just make sure to follow the instructions on the can, which I believe is to use the entire can--not just a little bit of the goo stuff. If its a valve stem leak it wont work, because its not designed to repair valve stems. The reason is if not enough is used I dont believe it will seal the tire correctly. Also, when you do get the tire fixed, be sure to tell the tire repair people what product you used. You might want to get an extra can to be on the safe side, in case you need it.

I have used this( park car with valve stem at six oclock position)
use 1 can of flat fix---not the 5 dollar can with hose end pulls off
The 3 dollar can just push( It will inflate tire to 32 lbs.air),now drive car 2 miles,the sealant will move around inside, If this doesn"t stop leak,Ask God to help you,He will you know.Someone
will come along with tire or money.

Got a good spare? Put it on. If not, keep adding until you can fix it right or replace it. If it's the space saver spare, the little donut type, don't use it. They aren't designed for anything except to get you to the tire place.

Sorry pal but you're playing with fire. It's dangerous to you and other road-users. Won't somebody lend you the cost of a new tire? Then you need to get them all tracked up and balanced....usually free at your tire fitters.

Get yourself a can of "fix a flat "and that should do the trick. It will last for about a couple of weeks until you can afford a new tire.

I had that problem, you can buy a tire plug kit from wallmart for under $5, I re plugged my tire and it holds air perfect.

You have to get that plug ground out from the inside and replaced with a patch.
The hole will eventually get larger if you don't.

Try Fix a Flat. It works for a while....couple days at least.
