Re: antifreeze?
I was at Wal-Mart today and found both Zerez and the house brand. They had a lot for sale. 9.88 a gallon (not he 50/50 mix)
The 50/50 was 7.88 a gallon - mighty expensive water.

Re: antifreeze?
The original green permanent antifreeze is actually a ethylene glycol.
Propylene glycol is the non poisonous stuff commonly tinted pink and used as RV plumbing antifreeze. Propylene glycol can also be used as an engine coolant. Some racing engines are running 100 percent undiluted propylene glycol. When used in its pure form, it is highly refined and not a Walmart offering. |

Re: antifreeze?
The only concern I have had regarding shelf life is silicate drop out, I have seen chunks of silicate settle to the bottom of plastic containers, if in a cooling system I use a volt meter to test for acidity normally caused over a period of time by dissimilar metals in the cooling system. I always try and use low silicate antifreeze such as peek , we had problems with waterpump seals failing in our diesel engines and the Engine manufacture attributed it to silicate drop out. if left untested/untreated for months there are risks of galvanic action caused by dissimilar metals .

Re: antifreeze?
Will the 'red' antifreeze work?
