[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 489730, member: 3592"] Good question kamion :1: Well, ethylene glycol not only depresses the freezing point of water, but it also elevates the boiling point. It extends the temperature range of water, making it a better heat transfer fluid. Two further things to note: - Ethylene glycol must never be used pure form, and must be mixed with water (about 50:50) in order to be effective. Which is why you can top up with just water. - It's highly toxic, and because it is sweet tasting, never leave an opened can around where children and pets can get hold of it. Death is almost certain if ingested. [/QUOTE]
