Here is some info on the recall

It seems the supplier may sell to multiple brands and labels, not only Starbrite.

It's probably too late for this info, but it may help someone.

I have a friend at our marina that gets the RV/Marine anti-freeze in 55 gallon drums for his business. He orders a couple of extra drums for winterizing boats. He has a powerful electric pump powered by a Honda generator that he uses to pressurize a 50 foot hose with the antifreeze. Having a hose that dispenses anti-freeze at 5 gallons a minute is so handy. He puts the whole assembly in the back of his truck and we used it a week ago to Winterize three 40+ foot boats in 4 hours. These are fairly complex boats with three engines each, up to 4 reverse cycle AC/heaters each, up to 3 showers each, 3 sinks each, livewells, raw water systems, etc. We used the remaining few gallons of pink stuff to Winterize 3 PWCs a couple of days later. If you can pool resources with some other boat owners, this is a tremendously efficient way to Winterize a few boats.
