Do you have Yellow Hat auto parts stores? I know that their bottles have 35%, and not much else. Give the bottle a good shake, and see if it has lingering bubbles. If it does, don’t buy it. You can also ask for it under these names. メチルアルコ－ル 、木精 、カルビノ－ル. I don’t know about the dye causing problems, but I would think that a cleaning with just pure methanol/water mix every now and then would clean the stuff out. |
Thanks for that advice man. Will go out and check a couple of stores today after work and see what I can find. We have Autobacs here (but not Super Autobacs) and maybe one Yellow Hat store on the island. And thanks for the kana and kanji links for other things to look for. I think the most I have seen before was 20% methanol in the windscreen washer fluid.
But I will go hunting later and hopefully report back with some better news.
