Default Long term Meth storage

Hey guys opinions needed...

I work overseas and I am gone for 1 month at a time. I am currently using my windshield washer reservoir for meth storage (which is by no means sealed).

The car will be sitting in a garage for 35 days at a time. Will the methanol/H2O evaporate at different rates and no longer be 50/50 or am I overthinking this? If it is an issue what is the best course of action for long term storage? Just drain the tank or what?

Thanks in advance guys!

Yes, you are overthinking this (in my opinion--and without any data as to where the car lives).

Now if the car sat for (say) 3 years, the fluids might get as bad as 25%/75% water/meth.
