Maximum protection is obtained at 60percent by volume (4.B pints of ethylene glycol per gallon of solution).

Military Specification MIL-C-11755 Arctic type, nonvolatile antifreeze compound is intended for use in the

cooling systems of liquid-cooled internal combustion engines. It is used for protection against freezing primarily

in Arctic regions where the ambient temperature remains for extended periods close to -40F or drops below, to

as low as -90 F.

Use an accurate hydrometer. To test hydrometer use 1 part ethylene glycol antifreeze to 2 parts water. This

should produce a hydrometer reading of 0oF.

Note. Fasten tag near radiator filler cap indicating the type antifreeze.
