The owner, which is a large medical institution, had a previous contractor remove some of the antifreeze. In fact, it was assumed that all of it was extracted. I believe it cost the owner $4 per gal to dispose of it in addition to labor costs. Now they want to get rid of the tanks and piping. I discovered the left over antifreeze and I am looking for a way to recycle it. From time-to-time people on the Farmall board have indicated that they use antifreeze in liew of CaCl. I would also like to recycle about 45 miles of 1/2" flexible PVC tubing and 35ea 2000 gal insulated polyethylene tanks. I am not giving that material away should I get the job. I am thinking of sending that stuff to Vermont for use with the maple syrup harvest. I have other options as well. My fall back position is to scrap all the plastic. It has value. All this material was used to make ice during off-peak hours. The ice was used to supplement the AC system. The owner has recently renegotiated his power contract and no longer needs the "ice tanks" and piping. I wouldn't be surprised if the previous contractor sold the antifreeze to an OEM mfg. That is something I need to look into. 2000-3000 gal is less than a truckload and may not be marketable.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
