Just something to think about if you are going to use alcohol.
Have you ever had a calcium filled tire get a sidewall puncture while driving a tractor?
I have it ends up spraying the stuff everywhere, tractor and driver can get soaked pretty good before you come to a stop. not pleasant so I understand the desire to use something else.
I have personally seen what happens when windshield washer fluid was used in an attempt to extinguish some smoldering leaves in the bed of a pick up truck that was being welded on.
As soon as the stuff contacts a warm surface the alcohol flashes off.
What began as a few leaves burning that could have been put out with half a glass of water quickly turned into blue dancing flames all around someone who was also at this point on fire desperately trying to get out of the mess.
Can't help but to think the same could happen if the stuff got sprayed all over a hot exhaust and driver.
