How about domestic non-toxic 50/50 antifreeze?

Like I've said earlier, I've not had a single problem in 40 years and I've always lived in very cold places. I've never premixed in my life.

I can see why new car makers use it though. This way they never use more then needed and keep expenses down. I ASSUME they don't buy the stuff in overpriced 50/50 gallon jugs.

I will guess that IF, you had an old tractor with NO water-pump, and relied on the thermo-siphon principal - you might get in a jam if the tractor didn't get used for while to mix things up. But, if working on such a thing, I'd be extra careful anway.

Now, if anyone's noticed - domestic non-toxic antifreeze for in-house plumbing and RVs is getting sold more and more as 50/50 mix. Totally useless! I say that because usually when you're adding for freeze protection, there is already water present. Big warning on the label - DO NOT DILUTE. What a joke. Go to a real plumbing supply store and they still have the full strength stuff. To use the 50/50 garbage, you have to get every drop of water out of your pipes and traps before using. That's especially fun with hidden traps and toliets.
