Fixed a 11 year issue of rear tractor tires spitting beet juice at me while checking the air pressue.
Everytime I check the tire pressure in the rear tires of the tractor while having the valve stems at the top, they spit "beet juice" (RimGuard) at me for the last 11 years.
Even using the air hose first would always have beet juice flowing and spitting out of the valve stem.
I finally decided to see if jacking the tire up off of the ground while having the tire valve stem always at the top would solve this issue.
Well, as usual the valve stem spit beet juice at me.
So I used a small flat bladed screwdriver to direct the spitting beet juice into a funnel that was inserted into an empty half gallon apple juice container.
Had to use 5 of these containers to drain down both rear tires to the level that the beet juice quit flowing.
Drained just over a gallon of RimGuard from each rear tire.
Now all I have to do is drive the tractor until the valve stem is at the top and then use a tire gauge to check the air pressue, and the valve stem does not spit beet juice at me!.
11 years seems like a long time to correct this issue, but I do not check the tire pressue with a pressue gauge very much, as I usually just kick the tires or hit the tires with a sturdy piece of wood to make sure the tire is not low or flat.
Wacking the tires was easier than using a tire gauge, and with no mess.
Only thing I can think of is when I dropped off the tractor tires to be filled with RimGuard, they just laid the tires flat on the ground and filled the tires.
My document from the tire shop showed the amount of gallons of RimGuard to be correct for my size of tires from the RimGuard website.

Because at first glance they look like those cheap straps found in $9.99 bin at hardware store...
