How much calcium chloride fluid would there be in a 24.5 x 32 rear tire on a D21? The manual says 1600 lbs of weight, but I need to know how many barrels I will need to drain both tires. I know both tires are near full, but I don't have a clue in terms of the number of gallons. The new tires will be dry, but the cost of them has my eyes wet! Thanks in advance! ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

| You’re tire man can tell you how much is in your tire by the charts they have. |

CaCL weights 12 pounds per gallon ......... so 1600 / 12 = 133 gallons. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| Found charts that say 140 to 170 gallons of water per tire, depending on the chart. Higher percentage of calcium the less water. Search now much ballast in 24.5 x 32 tire and you will find several options of charts. |

| Just as a reference, when I drained a pair of 18.4 x 28 tires, it took three 55 gallon drums for two tires. |

| Use plastic barrels. Metal ones can dissapear in Les than a year. |
