Not at all. Since it is a heavy gelatinous material, it will settle to the bottom. Even with heavy discharge from the bags, remembering all exit air has to exit through a 1/4 hole in the back of the six pack, there is no driving force to lift the liquid 8 inches to the discharge of the bag.
If it were a powdery substance, I would be concerned about migration.
I choose slime on purpose for it’s long term compatibility with rubber, and anti corrosion additives for steel. I didn’t want to rust through the metal piston in the air bag.
It’s not an ideal solution, and I continue to research to find a suitable Firestone replacement bag for the tag axle. I posted this redneck hack to potentially help someone in a pinch with a leaking air bag. It is not a substitute for replacing an old or damaged bag.
