MultiSeal ( Flat-Out ) and TPMS
Does anyone using MultiSeal in their tires also have TPMS sensors on their tire stems? If so, has the MultiSeal liquid in the tires had any adverse effects on the TPMS sensors?

My experience: This does not directly address your question because a TPMS was not involved.
I own a 6' utility trailer. About 20 years ago my brother asked if he could borrow it. I said sure, and he came and got it.
Fast forward about 10 years. A tire on my utility trailer went flat. I got out my air compressor, but it would NOT air up. I took the wheel off the trailer and took it to a tire shop. They removed the tire, then came and asked me if I had ever put Fix-a-Flat in it. I said that I hadn't, but the trailer had a previous owner, so I didn't know. They said SOMEBODY had put Fix-a-Flat in it, and it had rusted out the rim. I needed a new rim. They said that if I ever put that stuff in a tire, take it to a tire shop as soon as possible because they have to rinse all of it out before that can happen.
When I got back home, I called my brother and asked if he had put Fix-a-Flat in my trailer tire while he had it. He said yes, the tire went flat and he did.
(That particular brother could break an anvil. I loaned my Father my chain saw one time. While he had it, my brother borrowed it from him. When Dad returned the chain saw, it was a brand new one still in the box. My brother had managed to destroy the chain saw, and Dad felt responsible since he had loaned it to him.)
