Default Windshield wiper fluid is BAD!

Following this link I've decided to let ya'll know that I will no longer recommend windshield wiper fluid as a coolant.

It's clear that this type of coolant/fluid is really not meant for indoor use: it is volatile, very toxic, flamable (to a certain extent), and that it must be kept in a sealed environment, as much as possible, even outdoors.

I'm sorry if any of you have decided to go that route, based on my advice. I would advise you to switch to a glycol (ethylene or propylene), with all the precautions that these fluids require.

In the mean time, I will continue to look into other coolants.

Be safe!
