Why does antifreeze freeze?
Depending on the kind of antifreeze it is, it will freeze at different temperatures. If it is strait antifreeze it will not freeze until very cold temperatures, but if it is 50/50 or if you add water to it, it will have a higher freezing point.
What temp does antifreeze freeze at?
it will freeze rite a O if it doesn't have some water in it it is made to react to water and go lower.
How much anti- freeze?
50% water (distilled water is better) and 50% antifreeze
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.
When adding Prestone antifreeze to a Chevy Cavalier 1999 do you need to add water also?
Yes. Never add pure antifreeze. Pure antifreeze will actually freeze before a 50/50 mix. Add coolant that is a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. You can buy it already pre-mixed.
What is the suffix of antifreeze?
antifreeze is ethylene glycol.
How does antifreeze help you in your engine block?
Antifreeze helps by not allowing the coolant to freeze and possibly crack the water passages of the block.
What happens if you don't use antifreeze in the winter?
The water in your pipes will freeze, and then burst!
How antifreeze affects the freezing point of water?
It lowers the temperature where the mixture will freeze
What is the difference between water in a radiator and antifreeze?
Water in a radiator is a coolant that helps dissipate heat from the engine, while antifreeze is a mixture of water and chemicals that lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point of the coolant. Antifreeze also contains corrosion inhibitors to protect the cooling system components.
Do a water pump leak antifreeze?
Yes. If a water pump is leaking, it leaks anti freeze. Anti freeze, (coolant) can also leak from the radiator, or from water hoses.
Can you use antifreeze as a coolant?
50% anti-freeze, 50% water is normal, this can be elevated to 70% anti-freeze, 30% water. It is not recommended to have a higher anti-freeze ratio than this.
