Whats the best and safest to use with the kit? I've heard people use washer fluid, straight water, water and alcohol, water and methanol... What should I go with?

if towing distiled water only. playing around daily driving use windshield fluid the blue stuff only. if it starts to ping do a 50/50 mix water / windshield fluid thats what i run it does make a difference.

So washer fluid isn't good to use towing? I'll run straight water, the main reason I'm doing this is to add a little pep and run cooler while towing.

I know some who have run washer fluid, but a couple guys I know that pull diesels said that is has soap in it and a blend your own mix was better (water/****) and then you can customize the blend to your engine's likes as well. Just another tool to go along with nozzle and pressure to adjust things too!

I know that Trav used the blue windshield washer fluid in E-1...... but then again....... it is now Rotting in the Kudzu in Alabama since he used so much it was hydrolocking the engine, just a little, while it was running.........
