What can happen if diesel fuel is used instead of antifreeze in a diesel engine radiator cooling system?
diesel has a lower boiling point than antifreeze. as the engine heats up the diesel will vapourize and cause high pressure in your system. you will also has much worse temperature control in your engine.
Why does diesel fuel and antifreeze mix?
It does not mix under normal conditions. If this is happening with your diesel engine you may have engine trouble.

That depends on the radiator, not the engine.
What is the difference between diesel antifreeze and regular antifreeze?
Diesel antifreeze is specifically formulated to protect diesel engines from extreme temperatures and corrosion. Regular antifreeze is designed for gasoline engines and may not provide adequate protection for diesel engines, which operate at higher temperatures and have different metal components. It is important to use the correct type of antifreeze for your specific engine to prevent damage and ensure optimal performance.

The amount of antifreeze needed for a Vauxhall Astra diesel can vary depending on the engine model and the cooling system capacity. Generally, you should mix antifreeze with water in a 50:50 ratio. Check your owner's manual for the specific capacity of your vehicle's cooling system, which typically ranges from 5 to 8 liters. Always ensure the engine is cool before adding any coolant or antifreeze.
What antifreeze should be used in diesel engines?
Most antifreeze will work in any engine. For diesel engines in general, use a good long life coolant that includes nitrates (red stuff). For regular (green) coolant, most diesel manufactures require you to add your own nitrates or DFCA to this mix to prevent pitting of the cylinder liners. Check with your engine manufacturer for specifics.
What is the antifreeze capacity for a 2002 F250 with a diesel engine?
I was looking at the Ford F-250 7.3L DIESEL supplement and it shows : The engine cooling system capacity is 32.75 U.S. quarts ( includes the heater and the recovery reservoir ) * So , for a 50 / 50 mix of distilled water and the correct type of antifreeze it would take almost ( 16.38 quarts of antifreeze mixed with an equal amount of distilled water )
Can check engine light go on w low antifreeze?
Doubtful !... The antifreeze is added to the radiator - to keep the water above freezing point. There is no way of the engine knowing how much antifreeze is circulating.
How much antifreeze does a international dt 466 diesel engine hold?
The International DT466 diesel engine typically holds around 10 to 12 quarts (approximately 2.5 to 3 gallons) of coolant, including antifreeze, depending on the specific configuration and installation. It's important to consult the engine's service manual for precise specifications, as variations in the cooling system can affect capacity. Always ensure to use the correct type of antifreeze as recommended by the manufacturer.
