May through off TPM system, leaves a mess inside the tire. Interesting enough many hi end cars, including BMW, porsche and Mercedes come with their version of flat fix

I don't think you will have a problem with using it. When you get to change  the tire, the rim will require a good cleaning to get the goop off. The TPMS is a solid state device so it shouldn't affect it.

Did you try a tire rope or plug?

The problem is the likes of Fix a Flat is they insert the sealant through the valve and that knackers up the sensor.

....and doesn't it react with the alloy metal of the wheel, or is that some other goo.....??

We were stuck on a 3 foot shoulder of the interstate with 18-wheelers flying by and dusk approaching.  Didn't have any choice but to use the fix-a-flat and get off the highway. Wonder what the dealer will charge for the whole job (breaking down, cleaning, installing new tire)?
