Interesting thought.

Also, though methanol in a significant concentration would surely hurt fish, the amount of methanol in a single rear tire is not more than about 25 gallons at 30%. A 25 gallon spill of methanol near even a small "pond" of 1000 gallons would be highly diluted. As I recall soil bacteria metabolize it very quickly anyway so unclear any would get into the pond unless the tractor was parked in the pond.
I never said Methanol was bad, but I will say that CACI can be very bad on several levels.

I have 2 acres of ground.........makes it hard to remove topsoil from the garden area due to a spill..........and replacing that topsoil with fresh.......without extensive expense. Much cheaper for me in the long run to use something that is known to be non-toxic in the beginning, that also adds 1/4 to 1/3rd more weight(which is desperatly needed on my size machine), for just a little more cost.

To each his own..........but in my case, when dealing with a 1500 lb machine(dry weight), and using it for FEL work, tilling, snow removal...........or whatever else may come up..............every pound counts.

And I'm not willing to put 25 gallons of methanol in my 10,000 gallon Koi pond with my 36 inch long Koi that could be worth 10,000 dollars each to test the theory.

I don't blame you. If it were me I wouldn't even take the tractor to within ten feet of the pond without doing a white glove inspection for oil, fluids and dirt!:D

Whoa, Don. I'm funnin' witcha.

We have what I thought was a big koi, but a 36 incher would relegate our Behemoth to a minor league. I don't know how big they get.
