Don't use anti-freeze if you park on grass!

I have a little Land-Rover fire engine and one year I was advised to put anti-freeze in the water tank with the the idea of keeping the pump seals wet without risk of frost damage.

In the spring, normal practice is to check the pump by playing the hose over the lawn. Result: a brown lawn!
