Winter storage

[SS/GN]

Well the summer was a blast with my new kit, but winter is here and the car is being put on stands. What is the best way to winterize the system? My shop never gets below freezing. Thanks in advance

From Razor:

1)Unhook hose from nozzle.
2)Put hose into container
3)Turn ignition ON and push test button. Putting Gain knob on 8 makes it flow a little faster.
4)When no more alcohol comes out... fill tank with windshield washer fluid rated to the storage temp. Car will see -10.. get -20 washer fluid.
5) using test button run system until blue washer fluid comes out of hose
6)Reconnect hose.. your done.

Thanks, my concern with the windshield washer fluid is that is has alcohol in it . The other thing I have noticed it leaves a chalky residue when left sitting and actually leaves a blue stain on plastics. Would water be a better option if freezing is not a problem??

if you are sure there will be no freezing - water is fine. I would use distilled water but that's just me.........
I live in a cold climate, heated garage but if power goes out - no backup and freezing! So I just leave meth
in it. It gets started and toyed around during the winter so meth is not just sitting. I also have Razor rebuild
pump every couple years. Not recommending this to anyone, just what I do....seems to work for me!

I leave mine as-is with straight meth. I don't drain it or put anything extra in it and never had a problem last year.
