Fluid removal from tires

From what I've read in the forum, fluid filled tire removal appears to be something you would want to be extra safe on. I'm working on restoring a Super A. It has fluid in its rear tires. As the tires and rims are pretty much junk, amazing what nine years of sitting outside in the elements can do, I'm going replace them and I don't plan on reusing the fluid. The thought is to block the tractor securely, I've already removed the rear wheel weights, and then remove the fluid. I'll have to make a hole in the tires as the stems are corroded and blocked. My question is: Can I just dump this stuff on the gravel road that I live on or my driveway? I've heard that it's the same stuff they spray on it to keep the dust down.

Same stuff VDOT uses for dust control and for ice and snow removal. Just take an old sprinkler can and spread it on your gravel drive. may want to add more water for good coverage.

Kevin, Probably no problem putting it on your driveway...assuming it is Calcium/water mix, but it will brown up any grass it comes in contact with. IF you can find someone who would want it, and IF you want to mess with several 5 gallon pails, or IF you have the capability to move a couple of full heavy 55 gallon drums around, you MIGHT find someone who would take it off your hands...the dealer I work for would certainly take it provided someone brought it in, but we wouldn't pay for it or go get it. As far as private guys, IF they have the proper pump, and capabilities to move the stuff, they may take it, but remember, windshield washer fluid is about .76 per gallon in large quantities at Wal Mart, and you can use a regular submersible pump to put it in as the WW fluid is not corrosive...so it is simpler and easier for the average guy to use; I would simply find a potentially dusty spot not surrounded by green grass and let her rip.

If the tire was just accidently punctured, the fluid would leak all over your driveway wouldn't it?

Gravel driveway, so I'm not really concerned with it discoloring it. As for environmental effects, I guess I'll need to check with the local government about that.

Kevin,

I don't know about what you might run into concerning environmental laws in your area.

In this country, the stuff is worth $1.50 a gallon at the tire store and $5.00 a gallon at the local concrete plant.

You might want to consider selling it.

My advice would be to forget you even thought about contacting the enviromental authorities.

That's what I was getting at when I mentioned "accidently punctured".

By all means....Once the environmental morons are step foot on your property, there's no telling whhat you will end up having to do to comply with their whims. YOu may become involved with something totally unrelated to the issue at hand. Best to let sleeping dogs lie. As to disposing with your tire fluid, you can run it through a lawn sprayer, and apply it to your driveway to keep the dust down. You can cut it with water if it is too concentrated comming out of your tires, but it is the same thing the D.O.T. uses to de-ice many of the roads in the winter, and control dust on gravel roads in the summer.
