How to use the emergency puncture repair kit

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Tires

In this video we specifically talk about the Sealy or similar kit, like the JBM that we can find on E-Bay with the code 405881334092 at the price of 25.00 euros, free delivery. Let's check that the damage is suitable for repair, so it is not a hole larger than 6 mm and not located on the shoulder of the tire; if it is a nail, do not remove it, as it could widen the hole; position the hole at the lowest point. Screw the compressor's air tube onto the sealant bottle, and the other tube onto the valve of the punctured tire; fit the sealant bottle on top of the compressor, and insert the compressor plug into the car's cigarette lighter. Turn on the car's ignition (but it would be advisable to start the engine) and turn on the compressor monitoring the pressure gauge, until the recommended pressure by the manufacturer is reached (comparing it with the one indicated on the driver's door pillar). Once at pressure, turn everything off. Let the compressor cool down and disconnect it from the socket and valve. Drive a few kilometers at low speed to distribute the sealant well, and then recheck the pressure. This is a temporary repair that does not allow us to travel more than 200 km at 80 km/h.
