So did I :lol:

BUT MAKE SURE there's no more than 5% ethanol in the mixture!!

I've been looking for window washer fluid with methanol for over a year.
Couldn't find it. I found something with 30% isopropylalcohol in it (That's all the bottle said). I called the manufacturer and it turned out to have 30% ethanol in it as well. So I went to distilled water and methanol.
(finally found the stuff in an rc-cars/planes shop)

I just add a little washer fluid for:
1) The soap in it MIGHT decrease surface tension of the mixture, which might make the mist even finer.
2) I want it to be a bit blue so I see the difference with the bottle's with just water and/or methanol in it.

BTW, in the beginning I had stuff with just isopropyl in it, worked great, no
problems with the pump.


BTW2: I'm thinking about going to the shop to buy some nitro, but I'm still a bit scared of what the stuff might do to the pump seals. But it's tempting :twisted:
