[DeTomaso] coolant question

Mon Apr 18 12:47:09 EDT 2016

I'm not sure it's going to be as simple as just replacing the cap (it rarely is!), but I ordered a new one just in case, since they're only $10.
Thanks for the advice!
Sincerely,
Chris

I agree 100% with Ken, many times the cap is the simple solution and the cheapest fix.

     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
