OK, what are the facts regarding coolant being flammable?
I tried to ignite some this morning with a bic lighter, no go.
More alarmism?

We've been having temperature inversions lately.  When
I take off it's really cold, 30-40 degrees.  Climb rate
exceptional.  Then when I get to 4-5000 feet, my climb
rate dissipates, I notice the engine is running warmer,
more like summer.  I stick my finger out the vent and it's
warm, like 50-60 degrees.
