I have heard that it is flammable too. Billy Ray can correct me if I am
wrong, but "ethylene glycol" sounds like C2O2H4. I got some flames out of
the stuff once, but it went out, no doubt because of the water mixed in it.
From what Billy Ray said before about pouring it in the ground, it probably
won't upset your septic system too much, but why chance it?

Flash point is 250 F.

Combustion may form carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, various
hydrocarbons.

Now that is in pure form, in the radiator is 50% added water, poured into
the commode and diluted during the 16 mile trip to the waste treatment
plant...........

Effects on septic systems are different than effects on vegatation. I would
probably avoid septic tanks but haven't looked into it. A jug every couple
years probebly wouldn't do much harm as long as you flush down a box of
septic tank enzymes/bacteria a week or so later.

Try using you wife's vacuum cleaner - most have a blower connection that
will put out more volume than you need but with little danger of excess
pressure. I use my shop vac, but that's usually because I get impatient
waitng for gravity to work. Duct tape makes a great universal coupler for
this.
