Abstract:
1. A method for recovering puncture repair liquid, comprising: using an apparatus for recovering puncture repair liquid that includes a tube and a sealing portion, the tube being inserted into a tire from a tire valve mounted to a wheel, the sealing portion being at a part of the tube in a longitudinal direction and having an outer diameter larger than an outer diameter of the tube to be finable in the tire valve; removing a valve core from the tire valve of the wheel with the tire where pressurized air has been filled and puncture repair liquid has been injected; discharging pressurized air filled in the tire from the tire valve; and recovering the puncture repair liquid in the tire via the tube using a residual pressure of pressurized air filled in the tire by fitting the sealing portion to the tire valve so as to prevent air leakage through a gap between the tube and the tire valve while inserting the tube from the tire valve so as to bring the tube to the liquid surface of the puncture repair liquid during discharging the pressurized air in the tire.
