Any problems using puncture sealer in RFTs?

The Tire Racks tire pump with puncture sealant warns of possible damage to the tire pressure monitors inside. Has anyone had good/bad experience with this product. I am sometimes more than the driving range of RFTs away from tire repair and would hope to slow or restore the tire pressure to allow me to get to a service facitily and new tire replacement rather than waiting for a tow truck

Try www.slime.com They claim to have a TPM safe formula:

"Yes, Slime makes a TPMS safe formula for cars and trucks with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). Look for the yellow bottle and the TPMS Safe icon. Many of Slime’s Spair kits also feature TPMS Safe Sealant. If your vehicle has TPMS, try the Smart Spair or Safety Spair from Slime."
