Hi All,
It has been miserably cold here for the past month and I haven't flown
my aircraft. I ventured out to my hanger today (unheated) to be
greeted by the sight of coolant on the floor. It is dripping from the
radiator area.
I haven't investigated further, I'll have to move my airplane to the
heated workshop area of my hanger first, but I had a few questions for
the folks on the forum.
I have a 50:50 mix of water/glycol in my aircraft. The coldest it has
been in the last 30 days is zero degrees Fahrenheit, -18 centigrade.
Has anyone had experience of 50:50 mix of water/glycol would freeze
at this temperature ?. My quick research suggests it freezes at -36F
For people living nearer to the Arctic circle than me, has anyone had
a similar experience ?
Thanks, Paul
