Ditto on the smell and using it over the winter - never a problem for me.

fwunder - I think you need to apply for a hazardous materials placard for that!

I'm glad you brought it up! Reminded me that I need to come up with a MSDS sheet for this stuff I made today!  Star

I didn't think about the MSDS. I see the flashpoint is zero. Thanks!

The one I used lists both ingredients. Says ethyl alcohol (64-17-5), propylene glycol (57-55-6) Brand is 20/10

 Furpod, have you used the furnace?

5 seasons of post winterization pod use... never even smelled it, let alone had an issue.

Read the label. There are two kinds of RV Antifreeze: Ethanol (alcohol) based (flammable) and Propylene Glycol based (non-flammable). I use the PG product. I've got a couple of gallons of Prestone in the garage.
