Have a question about the mixing of antifreeze and windshield washer fluid.
I am on a fairly snug budget, so I need to work cheap, for a lack of better words. I have decided to use windshield washer fluid to ballast the tires on my L3400 - 24 gallons per tire. The cheapest I can find is good for 20 below. I would like to lower that temperature a bit, so my thought was to substitute a couple gallons of antifreeze per tire.
So here is the question, since I am not a chemist. Would there be any adverse reaction that I should be concerned with by mixing antifreeze and windshield washer fluid?? Obvioulsy antifreeze mixes with water, but the ammonia in the washer fluid is my concern..
Thanks in advance for any input.
