Hello fellow GMCers...
I'm another newbie and this is my first post. I just finished
winterizing yesterday, so
today I noticed it says "for use only in plastic pipes" on the jug of
pink stuff. Is ethanol
bad for copper? What Should I do? Please help, as the thought of
re-plumbing this
old transmode about scares me to death!

I assume that this is some of the Article Ban Antifreeze that is on sale at Ace Hardware for $1.99/ gallon?
I filled mine with this, but I have the plastic pipes in my coach. I didn't really even look to see that the RV antifreeze had changes from propylene glycol to ethanol based. Would I assume that ethanol does the same bad things as it does in the fuel system?
