How I put fluid in a tire.

onefarmer · Sep 18, 2012

I've seem a few posts before on how to load tires with fluid. Since I had to change a tire I thought I'd post how I do mine.

The drill pump removes the fluid if the tire/tube is damaged enough to not allow just blowing the fluid out. (Yes I know the stem needs to on the bottom. I just put it on there for the the top pic.}

The utility pump pumps it back in and quite fast. I do have to stop filling a few times to let air out.

Nice job! I just call the Co-op. I mess with lots of things but am getting too old for that!

have you tried the drill pump for putting it back in? how would it work?

im planning on taking the fluid out of one tractor and putting it in another using a drill pump this weekend

Great idea! I was just wondering how I was going to do this for my Ford.

I've thought about rigging something up like that but I'm getting too out of shape to hammer on those things much anymore.

I recently purchased a drill pump (from Harbour Freight) for the purpose of installing fluid in some tires. I haven't tried it yet, reckon it will work? Let me know if it works for you.

Now, if you go to TSC or NAPA and pick up one of their nice little "bleeder" valves, you can rig it into your line so you can bleed off the air without even unhooking your hose!

That's a good way to do it. One thing different though try this from Gemplers it's even faster. It lets the air out as the fluid goes in .Price: $14.65 Quick Fill Tractor Tire Attachment

I've used the drill pump to put the fluid in the tire. Slow, but works. Pumped from a plastic barrel with hose adapter fittings in the bung hole. Barrel laid on it's side. Remember to vent the barrel. . .

Been doing this for years. The drill pump works ok for removing the fluid and will put it back in, but won't build much pressure so you will need to bleed off the air quite often. It's hard on a drill pump and the reason I went with the utility pump for putting back in.

I've been doing many of these, because the life of all the tires around here, seem to be ending at the same time.

Looks ok now for a dupont rattle can restore. I just wanted to keep the rust at bay.

With the utility pump I don't need to unhook the hose. I just unplug it and lift the pump out of the fluid. Air bleeds by the vanes.

I had to. Last year the other side went flat and I called HubTire in St Johns. They came out, Pumped the fluid, repaired the tube, and reassembled for over $200. I can take the time and do it myself for that, even if it takes a few days

I lost about 30 gal of fluid so I went and got a bag of Cal for $10. I used the utility pump to mix it with the water. Took the hose off the pump and let it circulate in the bottom of the tub.
