The thing that gets me, when we flushed coolant in "the old days".
We hosed it into the floor drains at the shop and laughed about it, dumb I know.
I have actualy changed my ways and feel bad about that kind of stuff, anyway, it seems we were doing the PC thing and didn't even know it :]

Scary...

Anyone know what it evaporates  into?
I sat a five gallon bucket of it in a storage area and covered it with plywood and a weight. Thinking I wanted it behind a closed door so the dog and cats could not get at it, anyway it has since evaporated down to about a half a gallon, mostly rust and green syrup, ewe. But it's a lot less then the 3-4 gallons I started with!
