Can anyone tell me what a FAIR price would be to
get your tires loaded with anti frez/cal col?
Going to do a lot of driving up/down my steep
drive to the river this summer and will be needing a little more traction than normal.
Thanks..... ....

In SW PA it cost me $80 to have someone come to the farm and fill both tires with Calcium Chlor.

Wayne, About 45.00 per tire plus the trip here in Upstate NY. Not only is anti freeze a hazard to pets and wildlife (it is sweet AND poisonous) it can cost you big bucks should your enviromental conservation police catch you dumping as a result of a flat. Calcium water mix is best if used without a tube; you have to check occasionally to make sure that your fluid level is up high enough to completely cover your rim. It is when air mixes with the solution that corrosion occurs. If you use tubes, normal condensation due to temp changes allows a little fluid to bleed through the tube and mix with alot of air on your rim and this = lots of corrosion. We use winter formula windshield washer fluid in all of our tractors. It is environmentally friendly and non corrosive. It weighs about 1.5lbs per gallon less than properly mixed calcium/water mix. The cheapest we have found it is by the gallon at Wal mart; .63 per gallon in the summer and .76 in the winter. A 55gal drum, a garden hose, a cheap submersible pump, and a fitting stocked at NAPA and you're in business. Do it yourself. Also include an 8oz bottle of waterbed conditioner to fight algea in each side. 25 gallons per tires with a 12.4x28 tire, and we do use tubes with windshield washer fluid. Be sure to let the displaced air bleed out; this will happen around your watervalve stem if you use tubes, if you don't, then stop pumping occasionally and use the relief valve on your fitting to bleed. Good luck! Pete

Pete,

What sort of cheap submersible pump? The only thing comes to mind is a sump pump and they aren't cheap.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul:

>> What sort of cheap submersible pump? <<

Go to a swimming pool supply house/store and ask for a winter pool cover pump. Uses a common garden hose fitting and you drop it right into the barrel of whatever you're putting in your tires/tubes.

Here's a link for a supply house in VA. . Scroll down to the cover pump section.

Hope this helps..... ..... Ed

Paul, I think we paid 35.00 for it at Wal Mart, garden hose screws right on it, camparitively speaking it is cheap, since the windshield washer fluid is non corrosoive and won't damage your pump, a submersible works great. When using calcium, you need a non submersible which can get expensive. pete

Cost about same here in Shenandoah Valley of VA. $35.00 if they come out here, and $30.00 per tire to pump the suff out and back in again.

Now, I am not one to hire done what I can learn to do for myself, so... I've been investigating the filling device available at NAPA. (They have two sorts). Looks to me like I should be able to drain to plastic barrel via a garden hose, but haven't yet figured as far as getting the stuff back into a tire (or into it in the first place).

I hope we get the whole range of answers here...from A to Z er...Boeing to ZANE!

Paul

Here in NW Tn, about $30 for house call, then $50 per tire. Cal Chlor, yes it is corrosive, but anti-freeze, one small leak, you will kill all the local pets.

I don't know alot but from what I have heard do not use calcium chloride - please stick with antifreeze for rust prevention purposes. The CC contributes to rusting in a great way. Now as far as filling them up - we shall wait for the answering committee to step up.

I had my tires filled with CC (safer if you have a leak and pets) at a tractor boneyard. The owner was more than willing to fill my tires with CC he had alot of it around. You may try there first I was quoted 19.99 a bag usually takes 2.5 bags per tire plus labor. I put the tires in the back of a truck and he filled and 4 of my buddies and myself put them back on. MY 2 cents.
