Antifreeze and corrosion protection
concentration table, US gallons
35% by volume of antifreeze provides sufficient
corrosion protection.
Example:
• The total volume of the cooling system is
10.6 US gallons.
• The measured concentration of ethylene gly-
col is 35% by volume (freezing point -6°F).
According to the table there are 3.7 US gal-
lons of ethylene glycol in the cooling system.
• The required concentration of ethylene glycol
is 45 per cent by volume (freezing point -
22°F). According to the table, 4.8 US gallons
of ethylene glycol are required in the cooling
system.
• Since the cooling system already contains
3.7 US gallons, fill another 1.1 US gallons of
ethylene glycol in the cooling system (4.8 -
3.7 = 1.1USgallons).
