 Ken, Is that a standard water glycol mix? Serra is a trade

name I am

 not familiar with. Bill Jepson

   Its a brand name for a propylene glycol, Prestone also makes

one

but so far they are the only ones but they are all going to be

forced

to switch for environment reasons.
  I use 40 water 60 Sierra mix, the Evans is also a propylene

based

coolant but you must run it 100 percent and cannot add water

which

was a pain if I needed to top it off way out in BFE.

NOTE: Ethylene glycol is a nasty, polluting poison. It's sweet taste
makes it an attractant to animals and CHILDREN. Many countries in
Europe, I have been told, have already banned it as should we. The
death it causes is slow and agonizing. Propylene glycol is only
slightly less efficient. I have lost three pets to this poison and
have used Sierra and LOTOX for several years in all my vehicles with
great success.

I AM trying to set the wrap as you requested.

The wrap is fine Phil.
