I've been involved in a few of these debates over coolants, but not once have I heard anyone advocate ethelyne glycol over propylene glyc.
You have got to be kidding me bc....how much "common sense" does it take for you to keep your radiator from overflowing in the case that it hapens to overheat?
And how much common sense does it take for you to be able to stop that situation in the first place?
Perhaps you should tell the owner of the pet, who happens by your overage and laps a few sips of it and dies, that they should have used common sense and realised that there would be some intelligent dirt bike riders using a poison that can kill their pet around and they should know to keep their pet away from anywhere that dirt bikers may be.
I'm not sorry one bit to stir up this argument. In my opinion, if there is an alternative fluid that is miles safer than another, why then should the alternative not be used by folks with good "common sense"?
FC, The local junkyard has no business taking on ethylene glycol. I bet the EPA has no idea they are doing this. I'm no environmentalist whacko in the least, but when I think of things like that reaching ground water because junk yard operators are using "common sense", it irks me.
I have merely stated my opinion on the matter. I happen to use mucho common sense when it comes to handling chemicals, and I don't need to have "many years of common sense handling of hazardous materials" on my resume to know whats right and whats totally ignorant.
