Chloride Removal

Straw Boss · Feb 29, 2016

Last I checked the tire truck man said he would remove chloride from my tires and dump it on the farm somewhere. I thought that was a bit unprofessional and I maybe have at least 20 tires I want removed of juice. I'd like to know what your tire shops do. Charge you for the milage and labor only? Take the fluid with them? Dump it? Give you credit for the juice? The guy I'm speaking of is no longer employed since he was kind of a slob and always took short cuts, but next time I call I just want some idea what others do so I know what I should expect. Your thoughts please. Thanks.

Only way to get it all is to put in new tubes. To get most of it out take them out to a fence row and let er fly. The State dumps it all over the roads here in Ohio for snow removal.

Don't they sometimes use calcium chloride and water for dust control on gravel/rock roads? gobble

I always laughed at that. They pour tons of salt on the roads but scream if a driller spills ten gallons of brine.

I hauled over 2 million gallons of Chloride for the roads last summer to lock the dust down. Keeps them from chattering up too.

The mechanic that repaired a tire spilled a fair amount in a hay field one time. It appeared that it killed all the grass over maybe 8 square feet. Two or three years later I happened to think of it, and I couldn't find the spot.

I have unscrewed the valve, stuck a hose over the opening and put a few gallons of water in the tube, work it around the inside of the tube, drain it out, do a few times, get as much water out as you can drain, put valve back in and put some air in tube, change air a few times, and the moisture will be gone as will the calcium. Do the air changing over a day or two to allow the air to absorbe the moisture.

If the tire will hold air, I add some extra air and with the stem at the top pull the core out and jamb a hose over the stem quick. Then roll the stem to the bottom and blow it into a trash bin. Add air and repeat until it's out.

If the tire won't hold air, I use a drill pump and suck it out, pumping into the trash bin.

See my post "How I put fluid in a tire."

I thought they came and charged you to take it out then took it to another farmer and charged him for it.

Google calcum chloride and it will say that it is not toxic to the environment.Good weed control.

Most tire shops will come get it and not charge you for doing it, and yes they take it and sell it to someone else. That way they dont have to charge you for the millage, labor, removal etc. I've done this hundreds of times. my cost on the stuff used to be 1.00 per gallon. Do you guys really want to dump a couple of hundred dollars in a fence row?
