I've heard that or rubbing alcohol. But I don't think that will thaw them out, it will keep them from freezing, but it wont thaw out if they are already froze.

Hair dryer ftw.

I don't know for sure, but I've always heard it's fine. Mine were mounted inside so I never had a problem. Do you have a water separator?

frozen valves are a pain in the ass, esp. on a daily. My fill and dump valves wouild stick open and drain the tank. The antifreeze works good though.
