    What was the mix you used for calcium and antifreeze?

    I ran a portable air compressor for a sprayer slash holding tank. I honestly don't remember the gallon capacity of it. Always dumped one bottle of antifreeze in an topped it off with whatever calcium it would hold. The calcium by itself would work but antifreeze somehow made it work even better.

    Would that calcium chloride do a number on equipment ? I know it'll ruin a rear ag tractor rim .

    We never had it cause any issues inside a trailer but the stuff would ruin your leather work boots. It would dry them out an crack em.
