The use of a puncture repair agent may be an unexpected large expenditure [preparation and countermeasures in the event of a punk]

■ Using a puncture repair agent may make it impossible to repair full -scale.

The most common reason for the reasons for the road service of JAF is the battery, but the next one is tire punk and air shortage.The number of departures for Golden Week in 2021 is about 20%, which is actually less than 9,000 (four -wheeled and two -wheeled total).

It is troublesome to replace it with spare tires, and there are many people who do not know how to do it in the first place, and now it is often called road service in punk.

Nevertheless, waiting for a road service is a waste of time, and many people want to do something on their own.

In the past, it was a method of dealing with tires when punctured from the trunk to take out jacks, tools, and spare tires to replace tires, but now there are fewer cars with spare tires.

Such cars often have puncture repair agents and air compressors, and many people think that they should use puncture repair agents for punctures.

● In principle, emergency treatment is used for the use of puncture repair agents.

Many people misunderstand that if you repair a puncture with a puncture repair agent, just like the tire shop has repaired the puncture at a gas station, until the next puncture or the tire is gone.Many people think they can be used.

Punk repair agents can be used for first aid, and are not permanently effective as tire shops performed at gas stations.Also, in some cases, using it may be an unexpected expenditure.

The puncture repair agent is filled with viscous liquids to spread inside the tire to spread inside to prevent air leaking in the hole that caused the punk.However, it loses its effect relatively early (in some cases driving a few km).

When physically repairing tires in which a puncture repair agent injected with a rubber patch or stick, remove the tire from the wheel and wash the inside of the wheel and the inside of the tire before performing it.If the residue remains, it may not be possible to repair the vulcard (which can be considered as rubber glue) without working.

For this reason, the tires in which the puncture repair agent injected will be discarded and replaced with a new one, and the expense will be expensive.

Punk repair agents cannot be used for tires with sponge stuck inside to prevent noise, or tires with tire pressure sensor.

If you use it for a sponge pasting type tire, the sponge will inhale the puncture repair agent and will not be able to demonstrate the effect.If a tire pressure sensor is installed, the air pressure sensor will break down.There are many genuine tire air pressure monitors that do not break down because the wheel speed is calculated from the ABS sensor, but the sensor breaks down in the case of the type that directly measures the air pressure inside the tire.

In the case of retrofit, the sensor and the monitor are often sold and only the sensor is sold, so if you are unlucky and you are unlucky, you will re -set the four wheels, and the expense will be spent.

Many punks do not come off rapidly.It is wise to run in the tire shop or gas station while running with the air with a pump.For that purpose, carry the air pump and tire air pressure gauge.

Challenge with a puncture repair agent when air comes out rapidly.If you still can't respond, call a road service.

Calling a road service because a foreign matter is stuck in the side wall, the tires are torn, the tires are out of the wheels, and cars with 2 tons of cars cannot use a puncture repair agent.It will be.

Also, avoid puncture on highway or car -only roads, as it is dangerous.Stop the car in an emergency parking zone and ask for rescue.

At that time, the stopped car turns the handle to the left.This is because the car is hard to jump out of the driving belt in the unlikely event of a rear -end collision.The crew does not remain in the car and evacuate to a place outside the road as much as possible outside the guardrail.
