Hey all I need some hydro fluid for the weekend does anyone in WA have any or know where I can get some in a hurry?? Guessing I won't be able to get it from Minisport in the timeframe as interstate fluid postage will be slow and I live a little out of metro. Any help or ideas much appreciated..... Prefer to get proper stuff that use the 50:50 mix option. Ta |

Nulon or Valvoline green glycol concentrate is ok too. Just don't but any pre-mixed lollywater! |

Yes I have also used 1 part nulon concentrate to 1 part distilled water. Basically a more concentrated mix of coolant. Edit: another option I have heard is methylated spirit instead of water. Maybe this would lower the freezing point further. Perhaps if you lived in Alaska this may be a consideration. |

I actually use the antifreeze straight up... whether or not that's a good thing I don't know GundyGuy wrote: I found this info as to what was in this fluid 49% alcohol 49% distilled water 1% triethanolamine phosphate 1% sodium mercaptobenzothiazole that's the original recipe... alcohol to stop it freezing, water to make it cheaper, the other 2 ingredients (dunno which is which) is rust inhibitor and something to stop the mechanics drinking it |
