Re: How many litres of coolant.
You'll need distilled water if its not pre-mix (most isn't).

Re: How many litres of coolant.
You know what the inside of your kettle looks like with all that limescale? You don't want all of that inside your rad and cooling system, can cause blockages.

Re: How many litres of coolant.
The antifreeze additive does the corrosion/prevention controlling, ordinary tap water to get the correct mixture ratio will be fine.

Re: How many litres of coolant.
I'd say it depends on the water in your area. In a soft water area I'd happily use tap water. Where I am the water is actually something like 90% limestone with just enough water to let it move through the pipes so I buy distilled or premixed.

Re: How many litres of coolant? Curvy.
Luckily up here in Scotland the waters great we don't get limescale at all. I bought pre mixed coolant. Ill run the hose pipe through it to clean out the coolant system. Then take all the old fluid to the recycling dump. Got about 10lt of oil to get rid of as well.
