Quote: "OK you guys I am going to ask you how do you know in you have poured out exactly a half gallon of the antifreeze into anouther jug, just eyeball it and guess you have a half gallon and not 3 quarts or 5 quarts that you are going to be mixing and then doing the same with the water? Or do you get a known measure to use to put exact same amount by volume in an empty jug? And I do not know if you could get the exact amount using a scale as I dought the the antifreeze will weigh the same as that same amount of water will. I have never found a good way to mix and come up with the 50-50 mix and not end up unknowing with a 40-60 ratio with either the anti freeze or the water being short so you are not getting the protection you want. If you do have something of known measure that you fill to same spot with both anti freeze and water then you are good but if you take an empty antifreeze jug to measure the water are you filling it to same height as the antifreeze was or not? No visiable markes to go by. All that is why it is not worth it to me to buy full strength. So some answers to my questions please. So how do you know you are getting the exact mix you are wanting? The only way I can see getting exact mix is that measuring cup."
Quite simple, actually. You pour the whole jug of anti-freeze into a bucket. Then you fill the jug with water (or if you have another jug full of water, use that), pour the water into the bucket, stir, and --VOILA ! You have a 50/50 mix!
As far as the exact amount in the jug, many jugs have a clear stripe on one side, which lets you see the level of the liquid. Others are thin enough that you can see through them if you hold them up to the light. Make a mark on the jug and fill with water to the same level. A tablespoon or two variance is not going to make that big a difference--it's not like you're off a whole quart or anything.
If you don't need the whole two gallons, put the rest back into the jug and label it with a tag, or piece of tape, or write on it with a magic marker.
