Get me to a shop tricks....

nail in a tire? if it is leaking pull nail out and screw in a screw to seal. heater hose breaks turn off the valves. if no valves loop a good part of hose from one fitting to the other.

 

An ink pen or the inside of the pen can be used to fix a broken air line as a splice.

 

A plastic tampon applicator and a couple of hose clamps can splice a fuel line. Thanks honey. Lol

 

a tampon can plug a rad leak purty good. don't ask me how I know. just glad the wife was with me that trip.

 

Rescue tape (The stretchy heat activated one), Gorilla tape, Spare coolant, fuel and air lines, compression fittings, spare fuses, paper clips, spare band clamps and hose couplings. Coffee can full of old nuts bolts and washers. Spare fuel filter that I've never had to use,.. but will be happy I have it if I ever do.

I've used velcro tape when my alt belt shredded. Got me 80 mi to a shop for a new belt.

 

If you've got a screw in a tire that's leaking, remove the screw apply some RTV silicone and reinstall

 

$7 plug kits work good too. They can grind it out easily when patching it.

I always thought those plug kits were a waist of $$$. until a forman on a job one day pluged 4 holes in a tire on my wagon (some one had dropped a box of roofing nails) that tire lasted until it was wornout. I carry one with me now. word of advise- don't buy the one with the cheap plastic handle. it really hurts when the handle breaks and the needle sticks in your palm!!
