Air brake anti freeze
You have to put it in your air tank, the wet tank. Just pull out the bung bolt off the top and pour a quart in, with glad hands, I like to use a top from a bottle of dish soap, sprayinwash, or something like that type of squirt bottle, Gatorade ? Whatever... If it's your trailer, pull the plug and just dump a bottle in the air tank. some of those bottle caps fit the air brake bottles. Just trying to help :lol:

I've seen guys pour half a litre of that stuff into the red gladhand. Turns out theres just ice on the mechanism. Just because a brake wont release, that doesn't mean it needs alcohol.

Oh, I know, I've been dealing with froze up brakes for 3 weeks, too much snow! I have had good luck with the " 100 lb" application on and off method
 Every morning I have a couple wheels froze. Gotta get a look before you go! OR you will look stupid with flat spots. Expensive too.
