Pink RV water system antifreeze is sans rust inhibitor. There is a non-toxic automotive anti-freeze that I don’t think I’d drink but is touted as pet safe. It has a man or boy and his on the label in a mountain scene.

Is there any problem using the pink -50 plumbing antifreeze in the engine? It's a little more environmentally friendly than using the green car stuff.

    There is no by-pass, (other than a small hole in the stat to prevent hot spots) so if it's pulling antifreeze, it's all going into the engine and that's what counts. It may not pull it very fast at first - just wait for it to take the whole gallon and you'll be safe.

 

Tommy,

Up early, where's my coffee winch...

Tommy; Do you have to be concerned about the thermostat being closed when you run the antifreeze through? I have an A4.
