Double hello back. Paul, my opinion is no don't do it. The amount needed would be large, and the effect would be to degrade the lubricity of the oil. keep an electric heater on the dif/trans for a couple of days (even better with some fiberglass insulation placed to keep the heat in(it does not burn)) then after this rest, the H2O will be seperated out and drainable from plug/s. Antifreeze in fuel is alcohol which burns (and isn't needed with almost all gasoline due to the inclusion of ETOH from the refinery. Oil is just degraded by alcohol. Methanol (which is very possible to find in Fuel antifreeze distructs rubber and plastic components in the same way paint remover does. Seals and other parts made from polymers will be destroyed. I teach University courses in Plastics Technology, and we use methanol (and related material) for the chemistry involved. just my $500 dollars worth. JimN
