USED ANTIFREEZE $5 a jug at Pick-n-Pull!

[Jdeere562]

I would not take that garbage for free. Unless as mentioned, to fill tractor tires or something.

Mix it with borax and spray on wood for insect treatment.

Only brand new anti freeze for me.

This. I feel like I've spent a ridiculous amount on fluids to keep my vehicle the way I like it. Antifreeze is probably the cheapest for the change interval.

For my beater why not since it has 17 year old antifreeze in now

Because you have no idea what is in those jugs. Someone could have been topping their coolant up with apple juice.

I doubt apple juice but for a beater it's better than straight water

Probably still works as rat poison.

Well, at least it is not in the ground.

Car flippers - don't care.
Convenience item - I don't have to stand in line at the parts store.
Leaks coolant anyway, so less per week
The 5 bucks saved might buy dinner - unexpected car repair.

etc.

Not saying I would do it - but might be the best option for some.

No thanks.

I know guys used to fill tractor tires with antifreeze but I think there are more green options now.

This is new to me - what's the purpose of filling tractor tires with antifreeze?

$5 is $5 too much for that stuff. But I think we all know who is buying it (if anyone is buying it???).

 

[SHOZ]

Clever way to get rid of it. I wonder what they do with all the antifreeze in the old clunkers? I always keep a couple gallons around of the old stuff.

Well, know you know!

Added weight, plus lower center of gravity for maneuvering on slopes.

 

[Chris142]

It costs them $1 per gallon to dispose of it. If they can sell it for $5......

More weight on the rear the tractor.

 

[GMBoy]

Gives new meaning to "all makes all models" because thats what it was drained from.

That is the EXACT bottles I saw too lol All makes for sure

 

[GMBoy]

AAA Crain's in Ft.Worth sells used antifreeze.....The weird things you see a pick-a-part yards! But.....I'm glad they're around!

Like you said....For electrical connectors/pigtails, I leave them with 50-60 Fuses & Relays in my pockets usually.

Dang! I totally didn't think getting relays and fuses!!!

Sounds like a way for Pick & Pull to make a few extra bucks and I guess used coolant might be better than just water, but I would have serious concerns about using the wrong coolant in the wrong car (e.g. dex-cool). It's fortunate that many of us don't have to consider buying used coolant, ever... I would never have thought about it until this thread. Reuse my own coolant with known history? Sure. Buy any used fluid from a wrecking yard? No.
