Remember back when coolant meant antifreeze? A friend of mines son who is in the earth moving business big time went down to south Florida and bought a huge Mitisibishi self loading scraper and had it hauled up here to Talladega County Alabama to use in a land fill. He took off the radiator cap and the system was full of bright green coolant. Antifreeze! Right??? Not!!!! It got down to about 10% for a couple of days and when the weather got better they went down to move some dirt and found that the welch (freeze) plugs were all laying around the engine and on the ground. They put new ones in and changed the engine oil and them started pouring in coolant. It is running back into the crankcase like Nigra falls. Bad news!!! The Mitisubisi engine is as big as a small car! All that glitters ain't gold! All that's green ain't antifreeze. They don't need antifreeze in Florida so they only had a coolant treatment to reduce electrolis and it didn't retard freezing at all. An expensive lesson learned! Zane
