Anti-Freeze Question 2

[reidh]

Does anybody know where I can obtain the curve for pressure vs. boiling temperature of ethylene glycol at various concentrations? I am trying to determine the effect that putting a higher-pressure cap will have on the system's cooling capacity.

Thanks You.

non-aqueous propylene glycol

If non-aqueous propylene glycol is an advantage then why isn't filling the radiator with brake fluid even better?

Maybe brake fluid goes bad too quick. I know any old bike I work on usually has black goo for brake fluid. A better answer might be price and what it does to paint when spilled.

Price and hose life might be an issue.
