Tech Question Max Coolant Temp.(- both answers)

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

hrm, i wasnt thinking about that. i'll have to check it out.
quick trip out to the car port reveals:
% capacity    freezing pt     boiling pt (at 15 psi)
33.3%          0f                  256f
50%             -34f              265f
60%             -62f              270f

in addition:
0%               32f                250.3f (i looked this one up at work)

that ought to fix ya, man
Al
