I was reading a thread on the woes folks were having around corrosion caused by calcium in their tires, and want to know what I have in mine (I bought the machine used and the seller did not know).
I took a photo of the stuff: totally clear and tinted slightly yellowish. For comparison, I dissolved a calcium chloride tablet I had for de-icing my roof...predictably it's milky white. I got some vinegar and added it to both: the CaCl2 fizzes slightly, I got no such reaction from what came out of the tires. Do I have Rim Guard?
