It's been a while since I have filled an 8N tire, but I believe that it took near 40 gallons. We used a 55 gallon barrel and a roller pump attached to a 1HP electric motor to pump it in from the barrel. You will need the adapter mentioned in several of the other posts. Put the valve at 12:00 to fill, and at 6:00 to drain. When draining, just use an air nozzle to blast some air into the tube ever so often to keep the fluid coming out. You do NOT want to let this get on you, or on any grass if it has calcium in it. It doesn't burn or anything like that, just sticky and stinky. It will kill your grass, however. Best is to use a hose attached to the adapter and run it back into some sort of container. To get the last bit out, just let the tire settle to the ground (like it was flat - which it will be) and put in a bit more air.

What is a good method for removing fluid from tires? I would like to remove calcium chloride from a tire.

Here is what I did. I jack up the tire, rotated it til the valve stem was down at 6, then just took the valve stem out. It will pee a good stream til it creates a vacuum. Then you can spin tire up a bit til it lets air back in and the spin it back down to let out more water. I helped it along by just pumping some air into the tire every now and then. It will not get all of the CC out, but now you can use a thin tube and siphon out what is at the bottom of the tire/tube. I put some more water back in and then did the process again to try and make sure all the CC was gone. The CC does work, but is sure corrosive. Can trash a wheel in short order.

Go to any tractor place and ask for the adapter that lets you put water into your tires with a garden hose. If you are not worried about freezing weather, you can just put water in them and that is quick and easy. If you want to add antifreeze, preferably the non-poisonous RV stuff, you have to mix it up and then pump it in. I've done it both ways, the pump way takes a little more time, but not that much. Easiest way it to jack up the tire, spin it till the valve stem is at 12 oclock, take out the valve core and let the air out, then screw on the adapter and put some water in. Stop every now and then and let the air pressure that has built up be released. The adapter has a little press valve to do this so you don't have to take the hose off. When you find the adapter it usually will have instructions with it.

There is another way and you probably have all the stuff to do it already.

use your garden sprayer, take off the sprayer hose and replace it with a piece of gas line, then you pour in whatever you want to fill your tires with, attach the gas line to the tire valve (stem removed) and pump up the garden sprayer.

It isn't the fastest way but its cheap.
