    Fix-a-Flat and Aluminum rims?

    I was told that Fix-a-Flat has ammonia in it and that will eat away at the rim. Is that true?

    Ammonia WILL eat away at aluminum, or at least put a haze on the polished finish if it sits there too long. HOwever, I o not know if Fix-A-Flat or similar brands have ammonia in them. I guess just read the label.

    yeah. My firend didnt put anything on the rim to help seat the bead on your tire so if i leave it alone overnight it goes flat. And I'm going for a big ride monday and noone is open until monday so i cant get a tube and i cant reseat the tire with the tools I have.
