Re[2]: [ihc] NPG tech papers

[Colin Gebhart <colin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So I was reading some of this and thinking to myself...

I can't remember the name of the company where John buys his NPG but
it sounds like its pretty expensive and a little hard to obtain,
especially in a pinch. And yes, I know I could search the digest
pretty quick but just being lazy.

But I wonder if it would be ok to use Sierra or Prestone low-tox at
100% strength as John's vendor suggests with their product? This way
you would hopefully get the benefits of a waterless coolant/low
toxicity/not expensive and it would still be easy to get more if
necessary.

Websites don't seem to say much.
http://www.sierraantifreeze.com/
http://www.prestone.com/products/15.htm

Any thoughts?
