questions on coolants

Go to solution Solved by CtW,

So premix is ready to go and concentrate need to be diluted also i know about food coloring because it gunks up the system. 

Everything you just said is correct! Also, next time you post a topic like this, please follow the topic. That way, whenever anyone replies to it, you get a notification and can get the info you need faster!

So i will be getting one of EKs kits which comes with a concentrate coolant which needs to be mixed with distilled water however because i don't trust myself with mixing things i wanted to know if EKs premix coolant in any colour has to be mixed with distilled water or if it is ready to use and you can just fill a loop with it without mixing anything.

You need to dilute the concentrate in distilled/deionized water in order to use it. Companies like mayhems do sell premixed coolant which you probably should get if you don't want to mix anything. Dyes also work well as you only really put in a few drops of dye and can do it while the system is running (just never use food coloring EVER. that will really mess up your system) make sure you get your dyes from a good coolant company.
