Around what rpm do you hit start hitting boost and whats your max boost? Do you drive your car really hard? . That seems like ALOT of meth if you are using the boost juice at 9+ psi...

I also put 4 drops of blue food coloring in the 2 gallon mix to give it a little color and easier to see fluid level.

Try calling around surely some has it in your area.

Most if not all Windshield Washer fluid contain Glycol (anti-freeze) and some detergent. My first choice is to run a pure water/meth mix without any other additives but Windshield Washer Fluid is not really that bad. I have friends who are using them for years without a problem.

hmmm....I would like to use straight windshield wiper fluid so I can still use my wipers lol. The lowest Ive seen here in cali is -36 degrees. I wonder if I can find some -0 or something

woops I actually meant +36 temp lmao.
Wouldnt it be cheaper to buy to the lowest temp gallon windshield fluid for 2 bucks and just add a whole bottle of 12 oz heet?
