Propylene glycol is not toxic, ethylene glycol is poisonous.
Somewhat more significant than marginal IMHO. Both, however have
similar perfomance in the YUK! department. I'll stick with the air
pressure system, it's always worked for me.
A pet drinking standard automotive anti-freeze is usually dead
within minutes, I've been told. Apparently they like the taste, so
mop your ethylene glycol spills and use only propylene glycol in
your Airstreams.
