windshield washer fluid methanol content

[Coolingmist]

I found a list when I was surfing the net on one of the other forums. I have not seen this before. I have a link to our forum since I have the image linked to it.

I want to be clear that Coolingmist is not suggesting to use windshield washer fluid, however many of you do with no problems. Always use common sense. Also, I cannot make any claims as to the accuracy of this list. Always do your own research. i hope some of you find this useful.

Anyway, here is the list.

How about HEET yellow bottle, gas line antifreeze?

found this on the audi forums, a conversation cut and paste between a user over there and someone at gold eagle products (the makers of HEET)

ORIGINAL: Email traffic between Me and HEETâ„¢

Me: I just have a quick question about HEET ingredients.
I recently installed a water/methanol injection system on my vehicle. The system uses a 50/50 water/methanol solution and injects it directly into the Turbo charge pipe after the intercooler and just prior to the throttle body.Can you tell me the methanol and water content % in HEET gasline antifreeze and also in the HEET windshield anti-ice concentrate product?HEETâ„¢: While ,I can't comment on your specific application HEET gasoline Antifreeze is 99.90% Methanol ~0.10 water.
To get 50% by volume methanol water mix use it 1:1 ME:
What about the HEET windshield de-ice concentrate?It's blue... and it says 4 parts of de-ice concentrate to 5 parts water for protection to -25FWhats the methanol content in that one?HEETâ„¢ : Do Not use windshield wash
I can not under any circumstances recommend HEET Windshield De-Icer Concentrate ,There are other additives in it.ME: The company that makes it... actually advises that regular windshield washer fluid is a great alternative to the fluid THEY produce since almost all windshield washer fluids contain at least 40% methanol. Can you at least tell me the methanol content?HEETâ„¢ : My Point is that there are surfactants/ which foam /and anti corrosion additive in ours: Do Not Use to run in an injection sustem
Methanol content for Windshield de-ice Concentrate is 95%v/v

a little confusing to read, some weird characters thrown about, but you get the idea.

Try truck stops, Truckers travel through all climates, and there may be a better selection of WWF there.

No he's saying don't use HEET windshield de-ice which I believe is the red bottle, he didn't say anything against HEET gas-line antifreeze (yellow bottle).
