Re: [A/S] Winterizing-Pink Stuff vs. Real Pink Stuff



Listees,

Lots of folks used to refer to the potable RV-type antifreeze as the "PINK
STUFF".

Well, be aware that the pink stuff for drinking isn't the only pink stuff out
there now.

They are now producing pink antifreeze for the newer cars/trucks that lasts
about 100,000 miles and it IS NOT DRINKABLE!

Propylene Glycol is potable.  Ethylene Glycol is poison.

Also, be aware that Ethylene Glycol has an odor and taste that lots of dogs and
other creatures are attracted to.....so don't dispose of it where it can puddle
and expose our little friends to it.
