How to tell if Tire Inflator canister is filled

How does one go about seeing if the canister with Tire Infiltrator still retains its contents?

I have I know is empty but uncertain of the other. They seem to weigh about the same. Thx

If it weighs more than a few ounces, and if it sloshes when you tip it or shake it, then it's still filled. If it's light (like it feels empty) and it doesn't make any internal sounds when you shake it, it's probably empty.

Option #1: Contact Nissan.
Option #2: Buy one that's full.
Option #3: Use a low profile tire as your spare.
