Vladimir Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I bought this a Wal-Mart. Blew out my lines a month ago and added the anit-freeze into the lines. Packing up for the trip south. The anti-freeze half-empty was left outside next to the trailer. It has been below freezing pretty much for the entire month. However, it has NOT been below zero. I picked it up to put into the garage and it was slushy, almost frozen solid. We shall see in a couple of days whether I have lost any water lines. I suspect it would be a rock frozen at -50F.

Pat & Pete Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Yours' is not the first tale of bad Walmart antifreeze I've heard . Goes around , comes around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'mdonewiththis forum Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Actually, what you experienced is quite normal. Most antifreeze does turn slushy but does not freeze solid and it does not expand to break fittings or burst lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch_12078 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Yep, that's typical of propylene glycol based RV antifreeze. It's the lack of expansion that's the key to its effectiveness.

markandkim Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Expansion or lack of is the correct answer.
