[DeTomaso] Gates Green Stripe Hose

Fri Jun 24 17:54:20 EDT 2011

my mix during the recent refurb project was 1 gallon full strength
Prestone,  1 bottle Water Wetter, 2 gallons Distilled water. Mixed in up in
a 5 gal bucket first ( just because ).

added just a touch more water to top it off.

Works like a champ,  even during hard driving at 4500 ft altitude only hit
200 once, remains 170- 180 at sea level.
