making your own 50/50 mix
no matter how much i read, nothing is ever mentioned about making your own 50/50 mix.
unfortunatly here in ga, we dont get very much frost in winter time so the method of buying washer fluid didnt work at all for me. weird.
i heard about mobile1 fluid being used, but what about straight up mixing this yourself?
well i went over to lowes and got me some ethanol or whatever they sell in the pain department. comes in an orange and blue can or a red and blue can.
i mixed it exactly with equal parts water, but the damn mixture turned milky white and started to get hot.
10 wasted as i threw it away. any other advice? windex?

Does anyone local to you sell straight methanol? thats the cheapest way. Another option is Heet in the yellow bottle. It's 97-98% methanol.
Mixing 50/50 by volume is not the correct way. 50/50 by volume is more like 30/70. The proper way is to mix it by weight.

I found this list for a 4 quart container or approximately 3.8L someone should come up with a calculator where you enter the size container and the desired mixture % and it tells you the correct amount of water and meth
47% - 2.5 liters of alcohol
41% - 2.25 l of alcohol
37% - 2.0 l of alcohol
35% - 1.9 l of alcohol
33% - 1.75 l of alcohol
30% - 1.625 l of alcohol
27% - 1.5 l 0f alcohol

I bought 2 gallons of methanol @ like 6 bucks a gallon, then 2 gallons of DI water...poured both into a gas canister. Done. Perfect 50/50 doesn't matter...meth and water have their own good qualities.. I was gonna go pure water, but for some reason bought some meth for the hell of it.

I think he misunderstood and thought that you were trying and succeeded in making a perfect 50/50 mixture. instead of the perfect 50/50 ratio not being important to you. (as you meant it) You have to read it just right otherwise it looks like you're saying you made the perfect 50/50 mixture.
