Chopper, I use Calcium Chloride, Its available at the local elevator or lumber yard. I add about #4 per gallon,which gives you 'bout #11 per Gal. of weight. I fill the tires to the top of the rim which gives you enough space for air. I use an ol'well pump to pump it out of a mixing barrel. As for toxitity, it is SPRAYED on the roads for YEARS and still is to control dust, also it is used in concrete in the winter.So if it was VERY bad for the environment, I'm sure it would of been BANNED long ago. It is irratating to the skin,so I use a Barrier creem on my hands or wear gloves.It's corosive to metal so be sure to wash it off anything it gets spilled on. oh yes,you can put it in Tubeless tires. There are more expensive alternatives,like windshield washer solvent,radiator antifreeze and a new one, Beet pulp slurry. Also IF you live in a warm climate where freezing isn't a problem, you CAN use plain ol'water Your Choice
