Had to buy some coolant today to top off my car. Was legitimately shocked to see pre-mix on the shelf at Canadian Tire, a little separate from the concentrate, guess it does exist here.

Wouldn't much of Canada be cold enough that 50/50 mix would be a bad idea in the winter? I mean, I know topping it off won't throw off whatever mix you already have by much, but I'm thinking more about people who buy the premix after draining the cooling system.

Well, 50/50 is good to like -36, as shown by that diagram. That covers most Canadians because most live as far south in Canada as possible and there are plenty of places where it rarely goes below -20C. Where I live we have weeks that are that closer to -40 so 60% coolant 40% water is basically a must.

The block heater makes a difference. Not much of one (I think less than 5°C) but it's enough to push it back over the edge. Anything colder than that and there's other components of my shitboxes that I need to worry about before the block being frozen.

Also most of us have a garage, which really helps. Also most workplaces that are worth half a poo poo have outlets for your block heater.

Is there a way to pin or link this thread and 14's AMX HEADROOM INCIDENT thread together or would that be like crossing the streams (and that would be bad).?

Seminal Flu posted:Even in super cold great white North, a 50/50 mix gets you enough coverage: What is important to remember is that this is for new coolant. Old coolant apparently loses some freeze resistance, which is how a buddy of mine work up to a pink slushy in Minneapolis, where it doesn't get -30F. G12+, maybe 4 years old, which, of course, VW claimed was lifetime back then. Early 2000s VWs really sucked in the winter. Some temp sensor in the car would gently caress up below -10F and flood the engine, which was cool. This was considered a common thing. Also, my hood strut wouldn't work at -10F -- well, it would work a little bit, so you'd be peering over an engine that isn't working and then without warning (a really loving heavy) hood would brain you. nm fucked around with this message at 06:41 on Oct 14, 2016 |

So, after driving the van around a bit, t seems like this engine might be a bit...underpowered for our applications. However, while I was out driving for work today, I stumbled upon a garage offering a much more suitable option for this truck. Bit of an older motor, and it probably has a few more miles on it than the van does, but looks like it puts out a lot more power. Trying to work out the mounting situation for this one might be a bit more complicated though, as some cursory Googling doesn't seem offer much info, but I'm sure between 4 minds we can work something out. And of course it looks like the fuel system will need some extra parts. Cooling might be a bit of an issue as well, so I guess it's a good thing it'll be cold out! Price is a bit higher than I'd like to go, but hey, at this point I doubt I'm gonna find much better. [timg]http://i.imgur.com/XZndncu.jpg[/img][/timg]

I don't know, liquid O2 and super refined Kerosene are pretty expensive, but even a museum piece like that seems like it should need a permit to buy. Although it is Florida

Building a functional jet engine that could even be considered worth putting on a military plane is actually many, many times harder than building a firearm of almost any sort. What I'm saying is put a GAU-8 in the bed of the truck and propel yourself back to Florida with 30mm antitank rounds. It should neatly solve the tailgater problem, too.
