How does anyone rate tyre inflation/sealing aerosols for emergency
get-you-home application?
They work quite well on motorcycles but are heavy, and pressurised of
course, to carry with you. The tyre sealant available in mastic gun
type tubes and injected through the tyre valve hole, after removing
the valve, as a permenant measure is very good and cheaper and safer.
Available, dare I say it, at John Deere dealers. One tube per tyre on
the Europa wheel should be enough.
But is it legal as a permenant sealant on our aircraft? I doubt it,
but the stuff works very well on trailer tyres and golf cart type tyres
with or without innertubes.
