Phenols (ringed alcohol) act as an acid that are organic, but there's no ringed compound here in ethylene glycol. The Iron, and Aluminum compounds don't form strong acids that I know of. Also, to neutralize the acid, can an amine (organic base) be added or should an inorganic buffer such a sodium bicarbonate be added to the coolant? Tom, are you from Texas? Ken McWilliams
