How to dilute antifreeze

How to dilute antifreeze

Any machine needs to prepare for the winter period. The list of mandatory preparatory work includes checking and replacing antifreeze. The trading network offers to purchase a coolant in two types: concentrated and ready to use. The concentrated fluid to fill in the cooling system is immediately impossible.

1
To dilute the concentrate and increase the service life of the coolant, use distilled water. If you promise that antifreeze can be diluted with conventional tap water, then first prepare a small volume of the solution in the concentration you need. Two days later, check the liquid for the presence of clouding and sediment. Their absence will indicate the good quality of the resulting fluid.

2
It is unacceptable to use pharmacy distilled, sea, salt water and water with increased rigidity. To avoid the internal corrosion of the metal, buy water with sufficient deionization. It is obtained by reverse osmosis.

3
Explore the instruction from the manufacturer to dilute antifreeze. Pick up the proportions of the dilution of the concentrated liquid based on possible winter air temperatures in your area with a small margin.

4
In the dilution tank, dilute the cooling fluid in accordance with the recommendations on the package. When performing work, do not neglect the safety regulations. Mixing and further breeding antifreeze of different brands are not allowed. This will lead to negative consequences to change the composition and properties of the fluid.

Before pouring antifreeze, remove the thermostat and rinse the cooling system.
