Paul,
Thanks for the info ..... 35% WOW!
35 gal of methanol to 65 gal of summer wash fluid ... a lot of methanol
No wonder demand for methanol increases in winter.
Thanks again,
Tom

Hi Tom: A friend who mixes windshield wash commercially uses 35% in the
winter. That is plenty strong for Montana, but if he uses that strength he
does not have to worry if the temp goes below -10F by several degrees.

Help if you can.
I have relatives that own a bus company. They have 150+ gallons of
windshield wash fluid. It is not winterized. How much methanol should be added
to each gallon of washer fluid in order to prevent freezing to say ....
-10F (-23C) ?
I will experiment as follows:
Small sample of fluid in freezer .... check temp it freezes at
Add measured amount of methanol ..... check temp it freezes at
Repeat until I get a vol:vol ratio that produces the desired results.
I have other things to do tomorrow .... if anyone has a better
plan/knows the correct ratio it would be appreciated.
Tom
