Has anyone ever done this? I foolishly :loser::loser: added a full jug of "summer" windshield washer fluid and now the temps have dropped and the fluid is pretty thick. I'm thinking a bottle of gasline antifreeze may just get me thru without draining the reservoir and refilling with winter fluid.
Thoughts??

Shouldn't hurt ... in fact, any alcohol should be OK ... I've used regular rubbing alcohol to "break things loose". Just smells funny.

The blue stuff has a lot of alcohol already in it. In fact it will burn when it comes into contact with an open flame. What type of alcohol I have no idea but until I new for sure I would be leary about adding isopropyl just in case there is a compatibility issue between it and the plastic/rubber lines.
