Seriously its a SubZero starting fluid bottle. I think it had some stuff in it that helped the engine start in the colder temps.

Yep...it's a mixture of antifreeze and water for cold start assist. Can't remeber if it's 10% antifreeze or 90% antifreeze. Owner's manual should say.

90% antifreeze... from what I hear they don't really work. I removed mine a long time ago.

no. I imagine that it has been in there for who knows how many years. Just empty and replace with 90% antifreeze, 10% water. Mostly the pump motors fail on these things anyway and don't work. You can just remove it if you want.
