About requirement of Metallic tape in your car toolkit?

[james_smart]

This is great for fixing exhausts and a double wrap over a hole can enable you to limp home without filling the car with dangerous exhaust fumes. Metallic tape is also good for sealing leaking water hoses and air hoses - again use a double wrap around the area. Gaffer, or elephant tape are also good to carry with you at all times but will not stand up to much heat especially if applied to the exhaust making metallic tape the object of choice. The strengths of gaffer tape lie in its ability to bond to wet surfaces making it ideal for fixing water related leaks.
