348 tool kit?

Your fix-a-flat should be in there. I took it out from the zippered pouch and styrofoam for this picture:

I see even the F Car specialists don't seem to be too worried if the aerosol gives up the will to live after a few (11) years.

When I bought my 348 Spider I investigated the toolbox and the tire seal was more or less sealed itself in the foam packing material. It was the original and had probably never seen the light of day. Said to myself at the time "Will it still work?"

Never bothered to find out. Any F Chatters out there know the shelf life or when it (realistically) needs to be replaced?

 

Take the factory can of tire seal and store it in the garage somewhere, and replace it with something from our local auto parts store. My two cents.

 

you should replace it with a can of contact cleaner, this makes more sense...

 

I once called the Ferrari dealer in Seattle to ask the cost of a new can of Ferrari fix-a-flat, just for curiosity. I can't remember the exact answer, but it was something like $300. So as suggested, keep your original can of the stuff in a safe place, don't use it, save it as a holy relic, and go buy a couple of cans at your local auto parts store for a few bucks.

 

Perhaps the Pope visits Maranello every so often to bless the Ferrari cans?
