What's the best way to remove fluid from tires other than paying a tire store to do it? ------------- You only live once. But if you live right once is enough. |

Roll the tire so the valve stem is on the bottom and unscrew the stem. Just don't stand in front of it or do it inside your shop. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

I would like to capture it so I can dispose of it properly. ------------- You only live once. But if you live right once is enough. |

You can buy a piece of clear plastic hose at a good hardware store. I had the tire on my flatbed and set a 5 gallon bucket under it. switch out buckets as they fill and dump into a larger container. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

That is one problem we don't have as we put straight water in out here. I thought it was salt the same as spread on your roads to keep ice from forming. But several ways I can think of to catch the solution,clamp a small hose to valve stem after removing the valve then roll tire so stem is on the bottom. Us a little diaphragm pump like in RV or spot sprayers. Seems like a lot of work to be politically correct. Or is there more than calcium chloride in that stuff???

| Most tire shops will come and get it if you let them keep it. |

I picked up over 100 gallon in a couple days by advertising on Craigslist. I offered to take it out for the CACL, only one guy wanted me to pay him for it and drive 50 miles, he prolly didn't do what I suggested before I hung up. I would put it on craigslist in Farm Equipment, someone might want it. ------------- Maximum use of available resources! |

I rigged up my own little contraption to remove fluid by taking a T-fitting and putting a 3/8 nipple on one end and a valve with a nipple on the other end and a valve stem in the middle. Connect a short hose to the side without the vale and put a piece of 1/4 inch copper tubing about 18 inches long with a compression fitting collar into the hose 3 inches or so and clamp it with a hose clamp. The copper tube will fit in the tube after you remove the valve stem and the hose will snuggly fit over the threaded part of the tube,put another hose clamp on that also. Then use a long hose for the other end and put it in a container large enough to hold the fluid, I use 275 gallon bulk tanks I get from work. Close the valve and hook up the air to pressurize the tire,unhook the air and open the valve and the pressure forces the fluid into the tank. Repeat until empty. Its a little slow process but it works and if you do it right with the copper tube lenght inside the tube it will get all the fluid out. Take about an hour to empty an 18.4 34 tire. PS,tire is jacked up and valve stem at 12 o'clock when hooking this up ,6 o'clock to empty. I've done several different sized tires this way.

You do realize its the same stuff they use to control dust on a gravel road don't you? If you live on a gravel road lightly sprinkle the road. ------------- 8030 and 8050MFWD, 7580, 3 6080's, 160, 7060, 175, heirloom D17, Deere 8760 |

| That's a good set up there Grinder. I bought the adapter to attach to a washing machine hose and used a 12 volt pump from HF to drain into plastic barrels then back into the tires later. |

| Years ago, I had calcium chloride removed from the rear tires of several of my little old tractors. The tire shop removed it and put in new tubes in exchange for letting them keep the fluid. Didn't cost me anything more than just getting the tractor to them. Darrel |

I emptied several WD tires using gravity and a shop vac. Gave the liquid to my uncle for dust control. The shop vac did a good job of getting all the liquid out. |

| You know unless you remove the tubes theres still a couple gallons in there. I took mine to the tire store they pumped it out kept the fluid put the new tubes in and charged me for just the cost of the tubes. I was happy. |

I also drain mine into a similar tank so I can reuse the apparent water/antifreeze fluid mix that has a greenish tent. I pult my tractor on top of a bank about 10 ft tall. The stem up top, connected the garden hose conversion kit from local NAPA store. Put the other end in the 350 gal tank, and then moved the tractor so the stem is on the bottom. Have a air hose close by to refill the tire after fluid drains out. There will be several gals left in the tube if you dont suck it out. But this allows me to get into a lower weight class to pull and then I refill for farm use.
