Dear Paul
      All this talk about using pure anti freeze is playing with danger you don't know  how it will work and in the air flying is no place to find out. I tell my cust. to use   destilled water  and dehavoline pink anti freeze  60/40 mix get it at wal mart. You use the destilled water because it has no salt or anything else added to it to make it drinkable that can react with the metal parts of your cooling system. If you use reg. tap water the chemicals in the water can start to break down the rubber hoses from the inside out,it may look good on the outside but begin to rot on the inside. For the little extra money put in the good stuff and have some peace of mind.Go on to the next problem.

P.S  also I have hear that pure anti freeze  can leak past gaskets and seals somthing to think about

Two years ago, I used Water-Weter, with no antifreeze, like the Bike racers use. It did not lower the water cooling effect any more than 50/50 water and antifreeze.
