RE: [DML] Coolant Level - Winter Seepage

["Joe Dalton" <joe.dalton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark and David,

 

Yes, you are right.

I "forgot" / overlooked the fact that buying coolant in
a ready-to-use can also is mixed with water.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, let's call it my senior moment?

 

Welmoed.

 

Vita contin git. Vive com eo.

Funny.

You need water to get the 50/50 mix, no water and you
cooling system 
will boil very quick and your engine will seize due to
overheating.

The main ingredient in most modern day Coolant systems
is half Water 
and half Antifreeze.
