For those Oh **** moments I rigged up a BJ in a can, stash it in the trunk and forget until you gotta have it. I keep a can of R134 refrigerant and the cheapo filler hose with the schrader valve adapter. Fills the big old BB and more without the foam of Fix A Flat or finishes the fill after the foam.

After the R134, drive it a while and the tire pressure goes from 15 psi to 60.. Don't forget your pressure-temperature-relationship chart

I've actually seen one tire explode after driving due to refrigerant being introduced into it in an emergency situation.
