What else can I help you with?
On a 94 jetta if the fuel lines are frozen up and not letting the car start Do you thaw the lines with gas line antifreeze If so how long would it take to thaw?
The gas line antifreeze will not thaw the lines out ,a person will have to place the vehicle in a situation where the car will warm up to a point that the ice melts on its own . the dry gas is only a preventive item .
What mixture will thaw ice on a car and what is it made of?
Most de-icer sprays for windshields and car locks contain methanol (methyl alcohol) and propylene glycol (antifreeze). These can be harmful to humans and pets, so should be used sparingly and wiped up after use.
What is the temperature does ice start to thaw?
Ice starts to thaw out at 32.10 F or 0.10C.
Why is antifreeze added to water in car radiator to protect it What fact about the use of antifreeze illustrates a rule that governs the physical world?
This has got two properties in general. For cooling only, then you need only water. The problem with only water is when the car stand still with engine off in a cold environment. Water will eventually freeze, thus expand. This expansion will rupture the radiator and engine will quickly overheat because water runs out. Only water might also corrode the inside surface of the radiator. Most antifreeze liquids today offer frost-protection and corrosion-protection. The antifreeze liquid just lowers the waters temperature-point of freezing. Even when freezing (to a slurry) it does not form solid ice that can rupture the radiator.
What might be the problem if there is ice under the radiator cap and the motor is overheating?
It sounds like the antifreeze / distilled water mixture is freezing because the antifreeze mixture is too weak for the outside temperature Usually the antifreeze and preferably distilled water mixture is 50 / 50 ( Ford states to not exceed 60 % antifreeze )
Is dry ice capable of freezing antifreeze?
Dry ice can freeze antifreeze, as dry ice is extremely cold at around -78.5°C (-109.3°F. When placed in contact with antifreeze, which typically has a lower freezing point, the antifreeze will freeze as it absorbs the cold energy from the dry ice.
How do you unfreeze car radiator?
first you must water it down till ice has been remove.
What is difference between defrosting and thawing?
"Defrost" is used to denote the removal of ice. You defrost a freezer or the windows of your car."Thaw" is when something changes from frozen to un-frozen. You thaw out a piece of meat and the ground thaws in Spring.
Can you put straight antifreeze in a radiator?
You may do so, however you car will not run at it' s optimum temperature. Because antifreeze is "thicker" (viscosity wise) than water it retains heat longer. Some people run only water and this cools the car fine however......water doesn't contain the lubricating and anti corossion properties that antifreeze does (let's not forget that antifreeze when mixed 50/50 with water keeps you engune from freezing in cold weather)..... If you run ONLY water (i.e. Have no issues with freezing) add a pruduct such as "waterwetter" or "black ice" for lubricity purposes.
Why is antifreeze put into car radiators?
So that the water used as coolant in most car radiators does not freeze overnight. If it does then, because ice expands as it freezes and melts, it can crack the engine block. The antifreeze lowers the freezing point of the coolant and reduces the risk. The more antifreeze, the less risk of freezing. But too much and it will boil when the car is running. Additives in antifreeze also reduces corrosion and raises the boiling point.
Which facts about the use of antifreeze illustrates a rule that governs the physical world?
Antifreeze keeps water from freezing when it is cold out. The antifreeze liquid lowers the freezing point of the water. Even when freezing (to a slurry) it does not form solid ice that can rupture the radiator. The antifreeze combines the water to form a liquid with a lower freezing point than water alone.
Can you put ice in your radiator?
You can put ice in your radiator. Keep in mind that the ice is just water and you should have SAE certified anti-freeze in your radiator
