Actually, they fill them with salt water to increase
the weight.

They're almost new BFG MT KMs, less than 5k on them. Although I've heard you
can't effectively balance beadlocks I did it anyway and they've been very
smooth running. no effect from the oil I can tell at this stage.

What I may do I just pull the ring off one and wipe it down on the inside.
If it's really a mess I'll bust the rest down and clean 'em.

Thanks for the feedback, it's good to know someone else has had this
happen...I feel like, less of a dunce! ;-)

Looks like it burped out about 5-6 OZ, but nearly all of that was caught by
the coalescing filter, so It couldn't have been more than about an ounce
total that got into the system & tires.

I worked for a big factory ranch back in the early '70's when I was in
college. We sometimes used to fill tractor tires with water but for the life
of me I can't remember why. I learned all about this when I went to change
one one day and got a bath when I wentt to "air" it down !
