Flushing Radiator

[KingKole02]

Crewzin,
I would rid everything in that garage if it were me. I still live with a disabled parent. So what they want to keep still stays. [:0]

But I get to park in the garage because I front the majority of the bills. Been like this since I was 19.

I caught some bugs too. No the bugs liked the coolant after in the bucket.
You can still see the bottom of the bucket, so I really didn't need to change, but what the heck




I know this is dumb to ask now, but, what happens if you get this on your hands, or say in a cut on your hands?? For future reference.

The coolant is sweet smelling and sweet tasting, that's why everybody should be warned to keep it away from pets and kids. That stuff will kill you.

It's not =that= toxic. Don't ingest it, and don't let is soak into a wound.

Just normal wash-up is sufficient to get it off your hands.

It's the "sweet" smell that fools critters into drinking it and dying that makes it an unusual hazmat; otherwise it's no worse then used motor oil.

What can I say but read the warnings. I stand by my statement.

Ok to let the cat out of the bag. My blue, gloves, you may have seen in many of my pictures, got a little soaked. I have 2 open cuts on my hand and got some in those as well. Washed immediately. I accidentally wiped my mouth once because a bug landed on my lip and tasted the stuff. Taste like grease too me, but my hand had some orange on it.

That was Monday.

Having noticed any problems.

Guess I was lucky.

Early stage of E.G. Poisoning:
'Drunkenness' similar to ethanol. (Active ingredient in booze)
slurred speech, loss of coordination, etc.

And while as little as a couple of tablespoons can kill a child, it takes a bit more to kill an adult.

HOWEVER... why put extra stress on your liver? Be careful with it.

Again: the thing that makes Ethylene Glycol an especially dangerous hazmat is not its innate toxicity, which while nasty is not as severe as many other household products, especially pesticides; but the sweet taste that causes accidental ingestions of lethal quantities.

Oh, sorry that was me afterwords, having a few beers, I didn't think anything of it.

Thanks for looking out for me. I only got like enough to slightly taste it in my mouth, not much more then that.
