I decided to try this since I'm pretty leary about messing up my dehumidifier (would hate for it to corrode and then start leaking), since It would be very hard to replace it for the same amount of money spent ($76 for a $250 dehumidifier is hard to find).
I also tried watering the solution down a little more to try to help things, but it didn't help much.
Would methanol possibly corrode things? If it won't, I may try that if the pump doesn't fix it.

Adding water would only increase the problem, because it's the fluid that's freezing up on you.
Do you have a link to that article?
and by the way, galvanic corrosion isn't something that should be of great concern, unless you plan to run the rig for 20 years, without an anti corrosion agent.
