it freezes reguarly, we have dozens of cars during the winter that it happens, and yes, washer fluid is flamable, but its needs a constant ignitor.

the only way we could make it ignite was to spary brake cleaner on it and light the brake clean.

It is here...and anywhere where it is also called w/s washer antifreeze

That being said, my 1989 BMW 535 has heated washer nozzles and they have never frozen up on me...nor have they caught fire

Prolly a good thing we don't have these on our 'Bolts

Thats exactly why they added it, also helps for removing bugs and ****. It heats it to about 150* before it washes the windshield if you have it active. Its mainly on the trucks with Rainsense auto wipers, so I doubt people would use it much, but I dunno, I don't have to worry about ice on my cars down here
