Default Winterizing a pressure washer

That is bull****. What do you think is in your car?!?! We've
treated the pressure washer where I work on occasion (when the people
doing didn't know any cheaper) with automotive antifreeze. It can't
hurt it.

Why not? Do tell.


Ethylene glycol is corrosive and can damage the pump.
RV antifreeze is not corrosive and additionally lubricates
the pump.


No, it's not BS. The car is an enclosed, constantly mixing system. Lying
in the bottom of the pump in a PW is not; and thus corrosion starts.
Also, the materials for a corrosive reaction aren't present in a radiator
system; they are in a pw.
