Ok, I just looked up the SDS on Pentosin 11S:

Flash Point - >302F (so that’s a no go)
Evaporation Rate - Not Determined (not helpful)
Miscibility in Water - Fully Miscible

That last data point is significant for the evaporation theory. If enough water were absorbed over time, and since it will remain in solution, then evaporation could/would likely occur even under normal operations. And if exposed to air, would occur during storage.

I think, I’ll remain skeptical regarding the likelihood or commonality of this occurring. But, it seems a worn o-ring on the filler cap would be enough to begin the process over a long enough period of time or under extreme temperatures.

Thanks for sharing the stories JFP!
