easiest way.44 magnum.seriously though it is pretty corrosive stuff and as for killing the ground for years, friend just blew a tire this spring and the crops grew there just fine.i would get ahold of the tire guys and have them come pump it out,that way they can give it (sell it) to somebody else that needs it.i personnaly have it in the rears on my 460 and i'm just gonna keep it there and use those tires and wheels for winter snow removal,and i want to get a set of rims to put turf tires on for mowing.

Chuck, don't let the calcium run out onto the ground, it will be an ecological disaster, nothing will grow any where near where you dump the fluid for years and years, rain will wash the calcium into places you never dreampt of, putting it on your lane can ruin the grass along both sides of the lane for a long time. It costs peanuts to have them pumped out and tire service will come right to your place and pump them out and replace your tubes on the spot..it isn't worth the risk and hassle dumping it. ...Mike in Exeter Ontario

Michael: I don't really agree with either you or George. It works well for dust controll on gravel drivways, but unlike George is making it sound It must be a controlled and calibrated spray. Not a case of screwing out valve stem at head of drivway. I sprayed it on my farm drivways every year with 3 point hitch sprayer. You just use center boom and keep your spray pattern about a foot from the grass. Application rate is the secret, no more than 20 gallons per acre.

If it were a big ecological disaster, One would think they couldn't use it on the roads for ice control, but they do. Of course, most of the road salt is regular sodium cloride, but at lower temperatures where sodium cloride won't work by itself, calcium cloride is added to it because it melts down through the ice and loosens it from the road surface.

C.C. also works as a dust control on a stone drive for the same reason it eats rims. It draws water from the air and never really dries out.

Come spring, I plan to remove it from 8 tires in my driveway. I expect to replace the tubes.

Park at the top of the driveway with the stem down and let it flow.Watch what kind of tubes you got,there is two different ones.I brought my brothers h to the shop and get it pumped out, the guy said know cause then the tubes would be shot, so when i get new tires and tubes,i will get it pumped out.You can do this-The guy at the shop sai di could put it on the driveway also.
