   The gas station near me uses methanol in the window cleaner buckets by the gas pumps. The customers use this product with no warnings or identifiers. The hazards of the product are listed here : https://starfire.com/downloads/Wiper%20Fluid%20-20_SDS.pdf. But customers are not aware of these dangers. I only became aware by having a conversation with an ex employee.
