Don't you add water? or are you running it straight? Most antifreeze will freeze without water...

i think you have it backwards,,if in a vehicle it will over heat if its pure, pure antifreeze will start to gel around -*85 below zero.. my mix is good for -*50 below zero.

Pink RV AF is designed to be run in a straight 100% concentration. Any water makes it freeze sooner.

Only thing I will add is I pull the Tstat out so I know I have 100% flow and not worrying about it closing while I drain the block of water

I have a 1989 350 in a ski boat, runs perfectly, never touched it. Pour Marvel into the primaries, feather the trottle to keep it running, once smoking pour it untill it dies.

Anybody know if the process is any different on a wipple i would like to know.
