Not all Fix-a-flat in non-flammable. I've seen a lot of it that uses
propane as the propellant.
It also often contains ammonia, and that will corrode the heck out of
your rims and valve. It's probably not very good for the rubber
either.
The advice I've been given is to never leave Fix-a-flat in for more
than 48 hours. You should also warn anyone who will be working on the
tire that there is Fix-a-flat inside.
