Info
In most racing series, it is not permissible to use antifreeze, which is why
the cooling system must be filled with distilled water.
If the cooling system is filled with distilled water, it may only be exposed to
temperatures above freezing. If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures
below freezing during storage or transport, the coolant must be drained.
The standard filling of the vehicle is with a mixture of antifreeze and dis-
tilled water.
