Back when I was doing a group buy for FireFreeze (Coldfire) we had the company design a low temp formula that did not freeze (I think it was -10f to -15f or so before it would) under normal temps. Never had an issue with any of mine (unheated garage or out in my trailer at the time). yes, you do have to worry if you do not have what is now a standard mix, but was a special order item back then.
