I'm driving around in the freezing cold for another week and will be back on the west coast soon. How do you drain or pump your window antifreeze back into the bottle?

 

Use it all or not worry about having it still in your car?

Maybe buy a gas syihon kit that you can put down into the fill cap in the engine bay and pump it back into an empty container you have? Not sure if there is a "real" true way of doing it, but that's my suggestion.


P.S. No, that's not Swedish made penis pump.

 

There's no need to drain cold-weather washer fluid; it works in warm weather too.

If you must drain it, I suspect siphoning it out with a long tube would be about the easiest approach. Don't try to start the siphon with your mouth, as cold-weather washer fluid commonly uses methanol (wood alcohol) as the antifreeze substance, and methanol is quite toxic if ingested.

 

Why? The stuff is less than $2.00 per gallon. We use it year round. If you want to drain it simply unplug the hose going to the sprayers and put it into a bottle. Then actvate the washer pump and let it pump into the bottle.
