To those who responded about the water content of antifreeze, I once had,=

and wish I could put my hands on it now, an internal letter in GM about t=
he
fire hazard of antifreeze leaks.  It said that in the right conditions, i=
t
was actually more flammable than gasoline.  The right conditions being a
very small hole that would allow the leak under pressure to form a fine
spray.  In contact with a hot exhaust manifold, this would definately get=

the attention of the closest fire & rescue crew.  =


Not likely to be duplicated in the furnace when mixed in with the waste
oil. =
