Re: Stus-List Winterizing 2GM20F

The plumbing antifreeze sold here is denatured ethyl alcohol (ethanol), which is not great for rubber parts, but not as bad as methanol. As I noted in my last post, there is sometimes available a "premium" version plumbing antifreeze, which does contain at least some propylene glycol, but it

Yes. Environmental considerations aside, engine antifreeze is better for both the raw water cooling system and the head, but not suitable for potable water systems. Steve Thomas C MKIII Port Stanley, ON Persuasion37 via CnC-List wrote: Doesn't the engine

Re: Stus-List Sailing from San Francisco to San Diego

The only problem with sailing that late in the winter season is that it's the beginning of the winter storms. The Pineapple Express gives you strong winds out of the Southwest. The best time for the trip is late September / October. So take a very good look at the weather forecast and plan

Re: Stus-List Winterizing 2GM20F

Home Hardware sells pure propylene glycol. Search for Cryo-Tek concentrated antifreeze. 18.9 liters ( 5 US gallons ) is $135. It may be that glycerin based antifreeze is the best choice for winterizing an engine block though other than in sprinkler systems it has not caught on. Michael Brown

Re: Stus-List Winterizing 2GM20F

Agree. Winterizing is simple really. 1. Buy a big jug of plumbers antifreeze. Pink stuff. Local Hardware store. Don’t need to buy “Marine$$” grade. 2. Disconnect the sea suction hose at the through hull and stick the hose in the jug. 3. Remove the engine air inlet filter

Re: Stus-List Winterizing 2GM20F

There is a school of thought that maintains that the impeller might deteriorate in the antifreeze, especially, since most of the AF is Ethylene Glycol. IIRC, the better one would be Propylene Glycol, but it is not easily available. Btw. if AF drains, it is only better (you don’t have to worry

Re: Stus-List Winterizing 2GM20F

Other reason I've heard for removing impeller is to avoid it taking a 'set' from sitting in the same position all winter. Somewhere, sometime I read that you should do this if leaving the boat for longer than 2 weeks! It's pretty rare that we are not on our boat at least every two weeks even in

Joe, I think you are right. And I read the same about how poisonous the two are. I am using the pink stuff for winterisation and cross my fingers that the rubber parts don’t mind it. The two primary concerns are the impeller in the water pump and the joker valve in the head. The worst scenario

You might think that, but it is not. Recochem used to make a propylene glycol engine antifreeze here that was widely sold under various brand names, notably Prestolite, but they don't anymore. It came as a something of a shock when it was no longer available. Some automotive speed shops have a

Re: Stus-List Winterizing 2GM20F

I was led to believe the reason for removing the impeller was to not have it in a single position for a number of months – it could take a set and not work correctly. I did that religiously for a few years and then stopped bothering after seeing no ‘set’. I change it every couple of years
