Winterize

Uh oh. I mistakenly used part windshield washer fluid when I winterized. It's probably 1/4-1/3rd washer fluid, mixed with RV antifreeze. I know the polypropylene glycol is toxic. I plan to flush extensively in the spring. Any risks leaving it in? It's not in the water heater.

If it was my trailer, I would not leave in at all. You should not need more than 2 gallons of fresh RV antifreeze to do it over.

Flush the heck out it and pump in the new stuff.

X2 for sure! I don't think you want that stuff sitting in your water lines over the winter or for any length of time. :eek:

It most likely contains methyl alcohol which is poisonous. I'd drain the lines and really flush them out - several times.

For the small price of buying new RV antifreeze, it isn't worth it to keep a mix of windshield wiper fluid and pink stuff in your water lines!

Thanks! I had a half gallon of the wiper fluid in my garage. It's pink and made by Peak. Same as the new stuff I got! What a pain!
