Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice.

Ringuard............not for everyone, but works well for me after extensive research, and my tire size.

i'm familiar with beet juice...

Then you understand that 'sugar content' and 'water quality' may be off the mark..........unless you are privy to info that I can't find?

I saw a drum of rimguard spill into a small retention pond and cause a fish kill. Not a scientific test or anything.. just an observation.

Since I don't believe it is specifically overtly toxic.. that leaves one to wonder about the fish kill. Mass kills are generally oxygen depletion or toxin based. o2 depletion can be cause by a surge in bio chemical oxygen demand, blooms, etc.

Since I didn't do any water quality testing on the pond I can't say for sure. my educated guess is it was a BOD / o2-depletion issue in lieu of a known toxin introduction... Incedentally.. the bank the beetjuice ran down to get tot he pond left a dead strip of grass.. again.. ancedotal evidence.. however i have seen high sugar content products kill vegitation just like high salt content.

again.. i didn't do a soil test.. so it's a guess based on ancedotal observed evidence.

Gross exaggeration. When consumed orally it is toxic to be sure. You'd have to take a bath in it to absorb enough through contact.

Do you call for hazmat help every time you use your windshield washer? That is 10-20% methanol.

When cited by several sources..............I wouldn't call it a 'gross exageration'!

You are welcome to look at the links provided, and look up other links also.........but what you'll find is that methanol is dangerous.

I could give scenarios regarding living creatures, but, it might be best if you ponder the situation.

Not to be argumentative, but..............I gotta ask where you saw this.............and what size drum, and was it Rimguard(beet juice)?

The reason I ask this is because Rimguard(beet juice), is only sold to wholesalers at 1500 gallons at a clip.

The " Rimguard" I speak of is not the old 'Rim Guard'...........which was a totally different product ............that isn't even found on the internet anymore.

There is a HUGE difference, althuugh they used the 'same' name.

i for sure wouldn't drink it.(methanol). propylene glycol.. yes.

this would have been a few years ago, at a county maintenance facility where they park their fleet service tractors. The GC I work for routinely pics up DRA/WRA and pond maintenance contracts from the city and county. it's common that some of the ponds have fish in tem ( bream usually ).. there was a bulk tank rupture that caused the leak, it spilled into a collection weir and then overran a bank and into t he pond. kill happened within 24 hours. I don't know the 'brand' it was.. but was a beet juice product according to the maint foreman at the site. I was there and supervising the job. incedentally.. the spill was not caused by our co.. I never did hear what 'caused' the spill.. whether it was vandalism.. tank rupture... careless employee.. etc. I just know it stunk the next day as dead fish were everywhere. YUCK!
