Emergency tyre repair.

A good article on New RV Search on how to do an emergency repair when you have no suitable spare. It is worth a read because you just never know when it might happen to you.

Below is an extract taken from the article. The full story is available here.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

To repair a tyre puncture out on the road with a wheel still fitted to the vehicle, you’ll need a tyre plug puncture repair kit. This should include at least 10 self-vulcanising plugs (which you won’t need all at once, but you don’t want to run out if you have more than one puncture or botch your first effort), a probe tool, insertion tool, razor blade and lube. You’ll also need a 12V tyre compressor to re-inflate the tyre. Include a pair of pliers to extract nails or screws, a torch in case you’re stuck doing this in the dark, and last but not least, some safety gear: a high-visibility vest and a warning triangle.”
