[DeTomaso] coolant question

[Ken Green]

If it isn't overheating, maybe the problem is the pressure release mechanism in the radiator cap (or equivalent part) releasing at too low of pressure?

  What is the best coolant to keep an engine from overheating?
  My son's 1990 Mini is back in action but unfortunately, today, after a
  90-mile drive on I-5, the radiator puked most of its contents out onto
  the floor of the garage.  I'm not sure if it came out the overflow
  tube, but that's what I'm assuming for now.
  It had mostly water in it (not much antifreeze), but I know there has
  been talk on the forum about some really good coolants.  I'd like to
  try some to see if that solves the overheating problem.
  1)  What coolant product keeps the engine coolest?
  2)  Is it something you have to mix with water or does it go in
  straight out of the bottle into the radiator?
  3)  Where can I buy it?
  Thanks for your help!
  Sincerely,
  Chris
