12 Things You Need In Your Vehicle Emergency Kit(2)

Nov. 25, 2016

I continue to tell you when your vehicle emergency kit.

Spare Tire

The most common vehicle problem is a flat tire, and having a proper spare tire with you can mean the difference between making it to your destination or not.

Always check your spare periodically to ensure it’s properly inflated and there’s no cracking in the rubber.

Yes, tires have shelf lives! A general rule is that a tire is only good for about five years before the rubber starts to deteriorate. This includes a spare tire that’s never been used, especially if your spare is exposed to the elements like on a truck.

So, think back to when you bought your vehicle, and if it’s been five years, replace it!

Engine Tool Kit

Including a auto tool kit in your Vehicle Emergency Kit is always a great idea. At the very least, you should have the tools necessary to replace your battery.

A small filter wrench set, socket set and a pair of pliers will do most of the tasks required, but throwing in a few screwdrivers, some electrical tape / duct tape, tire pressure gauge and spare fuses will make it even better.

Fire Extinguisher

Fire Extinguishers are an often forgotten element in most Vehicle Emergency Kits, and an item we feel is very important to have with you.

How many times have you seen a car on the side of the road that was either on fire, or nice and crispy from being on fire. It happens, and having a Fire Extinguisher with you could mean the difference between a burnt hose, and a burnt car.

There are quite a few Vehicle Fire Extinguishers that are manufactured, and even some that have a handy velcro backed bracket that will hold it in place on your vehicle’s carpet.

Fire Extinguishers made for vehicles will typically come in two different dry chemical configurations (ABC and BC), to fight different classifications of fires.
