It can make the color lighter, but this does not affect the antifreeze function.

If there is an antifreeze leak would it stop leaking antifreeze and then leak water?

No. they're dissolved in each other and are quite hard to seperate.


Why do you have to put orange colored antifreeze in your 05 silverado?

Chevy says that the orange antifreeze STOPS corrosion and cools better then any other color. That is still to be proven to me. You can put ANY color you want too in it as long as you don't MIX the colors. There is a type of antifreeze that they sell and say you can mix it with any color but I don't like that ideal. Put orange back in it if that's what is in it now. It is very HARD to get ALL of the antifreeze out of the system / ENGINE So you can change the color.


What happens when you do not put antifreeze into your vehicle only water and it freezes?

During a hard freeze, if there is only water and no antifreeze in the motor of your vehicle: at best, the freeze plugs will burst or pop out; at worst, the block will crack.


What color is hard water?

Generally hard water is clear like normal water, but will leave white deposits on your fixtures. If the water has a high iron content it may have a slight reddish color.


Is antifreeze a homogeneous or a heterogeneous?

Antifreeze is a homogeneous mixture. Homogeneous mixtures are hard to separate and antifreeze is hard to separate. In addition, it is well mixed, which is another property of homogeneous mixtures.

it depends on how hard you push down in it.

What is the effect of soap and detergent in the hard water?

One effect of soap and detergent in hard water is it will not lather as well as it does in soft water. This can affect the way the soap or detergent cleans in hard water making them less effective.


If there is water on your floor board does it mean your heater core is bad?

If it is antifreeze then yes. If it is water then there's a leak in the fire wall under the windshield or wiper arms. Real hard to find.


When adding coolant to 1986 Honda Accord does water need to be mixed in with the antifreeze?

Yes a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. I disagree, I'll explain why A 100% antifreeze solution is perfectly acceptable. However you will only get a small increase in protection against overheating or freezing as compared to a 50/50 mixture of anti-freeze and water. By the way, the water doesn't have to be distilled. If your water supply is hard or has some other mineral deposits then you should use soft water. In the near term, the iron content in hard water won't impede the overheating and freezing protection that you get from the antifreeze, but it will extend the life of your cooling system by preventing the iron ions (or calcium ions or whatever mineral is present in the water) from corroding and clogging the coolant passages. It will also allow for a more efficient heat transfer between the hot internal engine block surfaces and the antifreeze itself.


What by product is linked to hard water?

Calcium and iron deposits within the water are harmless and often colorless unless the iron content is large (think rust color). These two elements are creators of 'hard water'.
