In areas without any risk of freezing:
- Tubed tires: water only.
- Tubeless tires: water + anti corrosion fluid, usually ethylene glycol.
In areas with a risk of freezing:
- Tubed tyres: water + calcium-chloride (CaCl2) or ethylene glycol or methylated spirit.
- Tubeless tyres: water + ethylene glycol.
These solutions lower the freezing point and do not damage the tyre, while the calcium chloride also increases the ballasting.
- Use pumps with rust resistant pressure gauges.
- Ensure the operator uses protective glasses, overalls, boots and rubber gloves.
- Prepare the solution by pouring the calcium chloride into the water and stirring the mix to help it dissolve.
Never pour the water into the calcium chloride: it is dangerous. Always mix calcium chloride in to water.
- Clean all the metal parts of the vehicle carefully when the filling or drainage operations are complete, as they may have come into contact with the anti-freeze, which is corrosive.
- Check tire pressure frequently as the quantity of air remaining in the tire is low.
