Tires Unloading Tires - Questions?

   / Unloading Tires - Questions? #11  
I have unloaded a tire before useing an air hose. I took about a 6 foot piece of airhose with an air chuck that clamps the valve stem on the end, stuck the cut end into a plastic 55 gallon drum stuck the chuck on the valve stem and bled off the pressure. After I bled pressure I removed the valve stem and put a piece of hose over the stem an clamped it. Next I bought a six dollar drill powered pump from Home Depot and pumped all the solution into the 55 gallon drum.

It sounds like it is feasible for me to do but probably easier to pay a tire shop or tractor dealership to take care of it. It also sounds like I would want to remove the tire and clean the wheel to make sure there is no remaining solution that would cause problems. I don't have the equipment to do that. Plus, I would rather have the dealer dispose of the solution.

Thanks for your help.

If you are talking about that new expensive antifreeze that is supposed to be non-toxic, I've got a grave where my puppy is buried, you can come and see. Reading the fine print, on the jug, says that it is LESS toxic. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Sorry to hear about your dog. That kind of thing is always tough. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I don't live in a climate where it freezes and my tires all have tubes in 'em so I just use water (handy when you have to pull a wheel - just remove the valve stem and let it run out). But if I had to deal with freezing I'd probably suggest windshield wiper fluid. Could still kill something, but that would be alcohol poisoning.
