Lets see what the UK Health Protection Agency has to say




They say that car anti-freeze is almost always PEG and that you're a dopey know-all ****.




Correction:



There are many uses for methanol including

the manufacture of other chemicals and in

the production of paints, solvents, varnishes,

paint thinners, certain cleaning solutions

such as windscreen wash and some

antifreeze solutions.



In the home, methanol may be used in

antifreeze and for powering small model

engines.



Methanol has good solvent properties and is used widely in paints, varnishes, paint thinners

and cleaning products such as vehicle wind-screen wash.



Methanol is added in small amounts (~5%) to ethanol (alcohol) to make Industrial Methylated

Spirit (IMS) or “meths”.



So its widely used as an antifreeze and cleaner, mostly in screenwash nowadays

Hurrah for you. You can Google.
The question was about;
" I have an almost full 5L container of "CarPlan All Season Antifreeze
concentrate." ASA 005"

Automotive anti-freeze.
How much of that involves methanol?
None.

Wait until someone asks about screenwash or deicer and your answer may be relevant.
