Mike, Our tractors are loaded with windshield washer fluid, and the dealership I work at is using it almost exclusively. Cheapest way to buy it is at Wal Mart by the gallon believe it or not (yes, even cheaper than bulk), and you can do it easily your self with a cheap submersible pump, a 55 gal drum, some garden hose, and a fitting for the valve stem from NAPA (about $8.00). It weighs about 1/2# per gallon less than Calcium/water mix, and will not corrode. As for the evaporation...not noticeable in 5 years,, and it doesn't eat the rubber like all the arm chair chemists say it will. We pay about .60 per gallon. Biggest problem is getting rid of the containers. ...and no fines from DEC like anti freeze will bring. I'm sold on it. Pete Pete
