Good point. Also gasline antifreeze has more stuff in composition that's not
necessarily good for o2's. W/Wiperfluid has water, detergent&methanol that
gets vaporized by the time it gets to combustion chamber.

thought id bring a dead one back to life lol yep, necromancing again lol like to hear how this has progressed over the years. I just got some cheap -20 washer fluid that im gonna run. since mine is set up for IAT control and not power or lean out control, im going this route. also since my car sees more highway time then track time im not running 100% methanol so it can sit and evaporate in the washer tank in the texas heat while im at work :/

Although most contain some glycol and detergent, most windshield washer fluids are up to 50% alcohol (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol) and make an excellent Boost CoolerŽ. Try to find one that indicates "contains methanol".
Yep I was about to post same , I wouldn't question snow performance.
