    Penrite 10tenths is not eth glycol. Racing safe apparently. Wouldn't drink it.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I tried throwing the pan of it up into the air, it came down sooner than ten days though, gives the garden a unique aroma so all is not lost

    Propylene glycol based coolants are only used in food stuff applications, they're very rare though there may be the odd marketer who uses propylene glycol as a marketing differentiator. I think all automotive coolants are still ethylene glycol based (MEG, mono ethylene glycol). There's been a change in the type of automotive coolants used with a lot of organic acid technology long life coolants now on the market. Previously coolants were based on nitrite or borate technology, these chemicals formed a physical barrier on the internal surfaces of the cooling system.

    MEG is extremely toxic, it's T50 rating (the volume that if drunk will be fatal to 50% of drinkers) is about 350 mL - about a COKE can volume. And that 50% who die are the lucky ones, the other 50% would have glycol crystals develop in their brains, and become blind and mentally disabled.

    But MEG is easily biodegraded, mixed with garden soil it will simply decompose. I've always poured it onto a corner of the garden a little distance away from any shrubbery.

    I don't know how the SG of premixed coolant would be only .35 (350 mg/L), premixed coolant is MEG (SG 1.11) mixed 50/50 with distilled water (SG 1) - SG of the premixed coolant should be around 1.05.

    You prefer driving on motorways made of straw? Living in a grass hut?
    Concrete. We should be building all our roads from the stuff so that it lasts. Instead of cheap shit roads that needs doing-up every weekend (and burning far more greenatic gasses).
