So if this is the case a person should be able to drill a small hole of just the right size in a container of coolant/water mix and separate all the coolant out leaving the container with just water in it.
Maybe I'm just over thinking it.
Anti freeze has a lower viscosity than water. Making it easier to pump, by being thinner. This allows it to go into places water would not flow.

The higher the percentage of antifreeze to water, the lower the viscosity.

Think of different weights of motor oil, 20w or 50w. Enjoy.
