Re: 29 Model A Coolant
Walmart has distilled water, $1.00 gallon when I bought it last fall when changing antifreeze for winter

Re: 29 Model A Coolant
My radiator was low.....I just topped it off with "orange" coolant
Should I drain the whole system and go all "green" now maybe? |

If the "doesn't leak" refers to coolant then this would worry me. The coolant must be going somewhere? Is there coolant in the oil (looks like a cup of coffee)? Are there bubbles in the radiator top tank while running? Is coolant dripping out of the tail pipe? Any of these think could point to a blown head gasket, or a crack in the head/block. |

Re: 29 Model A Coolant
What does the container say about the "orange coolant"? Is it ethylene glycol?

Re: 29 Model A Coolant
Was using regular Prestone 50/50 mix, foaming big time and spitting out of radiator cap a bit. I know well enough about proper level, just under the baffle in the top tank.
Couldn't figure it out since I had a fairly good tight cap gasket and an unobstructed overflow tube. Someone on THIS SITE told me to try the Green Sierra type, so I did, a 50/50 mix as usual, never foamed again after 9 years now. Yes, it gets very cold here, no heat in garage. Works pretty dag-gone good. |
