It used to be common to fill the tractor tires with a saturated solution of calcuim chloride and water, both to maximize weight and prevent the fluid from fully freezing during cold weather. The CaCl solution will turn to slush in extreme cold but never completely freeze.
As long as the fluid stays in the tube, nothing can rust out. The problems arise when one day you come out and find the tire flat. Not wanting to mess with it, you air it up and it HOLDS! Well, some or all of your fluid is now on the outside of the tube and the tire really needs to be broken down and the tube replaced. Instead people tend to ignore it and years later, big surprise, the rim is rusted out!
Yes, it takes YEARS for the process to occur. It's not "CaCl touches metal, BAM! now it's dust."
