That's funny. I like all the criticism from people who have never run it, trying to say it will ruin the car, its crap, and whatever else. If I thought it was crap, I'd be the first to admit it. The main things I like about it are that you can run 0 pressure and that it doesn't boil or cause corrosion. The things I like least are the price and that it is slightly more flammable, yes antifreeze burns if you get it hot enough.

Not a comment on the cooling abilities of propylene glycol, but I find it interesting that according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycol it has been judged safe for human consumption by the FDA, but it is illegal to put it in cat food.

Well, don't forget that often animals can eat stuff that we can't, so the opposite must be true.  Also, mixing EG and PG makes the EG generally non-toxic, not that I'll try it and find out. Same thing with alcohol, like vodka, and EG. They block it from changing into the poisonous stuff in your body which is what actually hurts you. So if you accidentally ingest EG, get drunk ASAP. :P  :lol:  :lol:  :P
