Tech Question Max Coolant Temp.

[Larry" <rocco16v@netzero.com (Larry)]

Okay-
  My little black pocket reference book (a marvelous item, by the way) says
this:
"At a radiator cap pressure of 15psi, a 50% solution of antifreeze and water
will increase the boiling point to 265deg F. and a 70% solution of
antifreeze will increase it to 276deg F.  Never use more than a 70% solution
of antifreeze or both the antifreeze and boiling properties of the mixture
become unfavorable."
