Message Now that the weather is getting cooler, in my area I have started seeing different kinds of windshield wiper fluids available and it got me thinking / wondering if these variations offer a higher concentration of methyl alcholol. So I did some poking around and came across this chart on another forum. I am not sure on how accurate it is.


Freeze Point (F) Meth %
32-------------------0
20-------------------10
0--------------------20
-15------------------30
-40------------------40
-65------------------50
-95------------------60
-215-----------------70

Snow Performance sells boost juice which is a 49% mix @ $25 for 4 gallons

-30 F ( approx 36% )

-20 F ( approx 32 %)

Just figured I'd share the info for those of us who don't mix methanol or buy boost juice. I have to imagine in the warmer climates ( Florida, Arizona, California ) that the higher freeze points / concentrations are not readily available. It may make more sense to buy the boost juice from Snow or mix methanol with water to get a stronger concentration. A higher concentration of methanol will absorb more heat out of the intake air.
