The labels on the container have good, pertinent info.
If the bucket is 100% that is the flash point number to be aware of.

Does the container have a red "flammable" diamond on it? Both E and M geo fluids are flammable. It's the vapors to be aware of.
If there are potable water HXers, those need to be double walled.
Stay safe!

i believe over 50% ethanol solutions are flammable and under 50% are not. or my high school chem teacher and the moonshiners have the wrong concentration.

Re: Furnace vibration
Depends on the type of blower. belt drive or direct drive? misalignment of the belt to sheave. improperly installed sheave. loose mounts, etc.
The classic is the wiring diagram or any papers falling into the squirrel cage.

Re: Furnace vibration
Easy enough to download the manual when you see the make and model. There are some indications when you look at it if it is suitable for horizontal mounting, connections on the side, pan around the A coil?
Stuff jammed in the blower wheel vanes is a common cause of the shakes.
I think of good vibrations…

Re: Monoflow/Reverse Return Piping Question
Got a sketch of what you are thinking, monoflos are not so common anymore, hard to purge, often the emitters are in series so the SWT drops from one to the next.
Seems like a basic reverse return simplifies the project without needing monoflo tees?

You just need to attach a key to the pump somewhere with a piece of wire.

Re: Myers C48D53B86 jet pump- Help
that is the best option as it is hard to “bump” it open, or break off like the previous wing type

Re: Monoflow/Reverse Return Piping Question
the selling feature if monoflo was a sinhle pipe loop around the structure. It took some calculations to get the sizing correct
Im not sure that single pipe benefit offsets the other issues
As you can see this RR example takes more pipe/ insulation
PIC balance valves are another option for flow balancing, commonly used with air handlers and zone valves
Home-run is yet another option
