Re: Nonroc Sorta.... Coolant/H20 Ratio

["Joshua Strait" <joshua13s@hotmail.com>]

In chemisty we had to do calculations with adding different chemicals 
to H2O and finding out how they affected BP/FP.  Usually the chemicals 
would lower the freezing point and at the same time raise the boiling 
point, I'm guessing antifreeze has this property, IMHO.
