Tire Ballast

/ Tire Ballast #81  
I did mine with a 55gal NAPA drum of -20WWF and picked up a few cases of gallon jugs to bring it up to the 76 gallons I needed. I used the $38 harbor freight DC 200gph pump and it worked great.

I moved some brush around and it's like having a new tractor. So much more stable.

I just got around to filling mine yesterday. Took about 2 1/2 hours to put 110 gallons in. The 30 gallons of pure methanol cost me $90.00 instead of $45.00. Was in too big a hurry to argue.
I am sure he said 1.50 a gallon before though.
Mixed it with 80 gallons of water.
It started going faster after I figured out to set the pump on the ground instead of on top of the barrel and to let air out every five minutes or so. I just unscrewed the whole adapter from the valve stem to let air escape, that tiny air release button was way too slow.

My 2.1 gpm fimco gold pump did a good job. I think..
