[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 2546, member: 26"] T-190, I sure don't know the real reason to use propylene glycol, but Bobcat recommends it. I stayed with it in my 751. Flushed the system, replaced the thermostat and refilled with the premixed propylene glycol. Yes, it was $7 a gallon for the premixed stuff (half strength), but it only took 3 gallons, and I only have to do that every 3 or 4 years, so it's worth it to me if it keeps the corrosion down. Also, I wasn't sure at all how I would get all the old stuff flushed out if I were gonna switch. This way I don't much care. Just my ideas. As for the leak, the standard fix in a car with ethylene glycol is to just dump in some leak stop stuff (Bars Leaks or equivalent), but I don't know how that would interact with the propylene glycol, although the leak-stop container should say. Then again, maybe that's a good reason to switch to ethylene glycol. :-) --- Bob [/QUOTE]
