Does your RV Antifreeze contain Ethyl Alcohol?

Maybe I've been living underneath a rock, but I didn't know ethyl alcohol was ethanol. Ethanol is widely known to degrade rubber/plastic seals and hoses in older engines, especially older boat engine...

The alcohol really screwed up the seals and check valves in the boat toilets. Eventually the spigots and stuff would start leaking. We get the camco freezeban -50 at the marina. It doesn't have alcohol in it the -100 does.Well did a few years back.

We used to have a customer who used CHEAP vodka.
