With the onset of spring heat, many motorists continue to use non-freezing “slurry” for the windshield wiper that has not been used up during the winter season. Why
Quite a typical situation: during the spring slush on the roads, sometimes interspersed with frost, the car owner acquires an antifreeze can for the windshield washer. And then the heat kicks in, the roads dry out and the consumption of “glasswashing” drops sharply. And now, with an almost full tank of “winter” windshield washer fluid, the car enters the warm season, when no one needs its antifreeze properties. As a result, the car owner uses winter windshield washer fluid “out of season”. It seems: nonsense, “everyone does it”. In fact, you should not be so frivolous about the remains of the “antifreeze” in the tank.
The fact is that the basis of any liquid of this kind is isopropyl or methyl alcohol. Isopropanol – in legal omyvayki, banned methanol – in jerry cans, used by dubious roadside personalities. Both alcohols are poisonous. Methanol is more dangerous, isopropanol is less. Therefore, according to official state ideology, it is forbidden to use methyl alcohol for the production of windshield washer fluids. Even if the less dangerous isopropanol remains in the tank at the end of the winter period, it turns out that the driver still inhales his unhealthy fumes every time the washing machine is used.
Okay, in winter this is a necessary measure, you have to endure the health damage. Why inhale mud even in summer? In addition, “non-freezing”, as a rule, have a strong and nauseating smell. In addition, isopropanol is to a much greater extent – compared to methanol. For the simple reason that the first itself is extremely smelly. Again, you should not smell this crap, even in the warm season. And finally, the composition of the “winter” windshield washer fluid is ill-suited for summer use. Indeed, in the warm season, slightly different pollutants fly on the glass than in winter. For example insects, sun-softened bitumen particles from asphalt, plant pollen.
For their effective removal, the correct ingredients in the “washing machine” are required. As a rule, they are not in the “antifreeze”, but are used in special “summer” windshield washer fluids. Thus, we come to the conclusion that if the trees are already covered with the first leaves and a substance designed for winter use splashes into the washer tank of your car, do not be greedy, but remove it. Just take once and pour “wash” on the windshield all winter long with a continuous stream from the nozzles. It is advisable to do this somewhere at a car wash – so that later it does not glass on the ground, but gets into the sewer, and then into the sewage treatment plant.
