ok, i need some deep blue coloring in my tubes...i have looked around and found pentosin antifreeze is blue, but NO ONE OFFERS IT found 1 place but has 35$ shipping to US...so it would be $50 bux..no way... found some koolance stuff, but my system has a largeish res,( res alone is about half a gallon..) and this here http://www.xoxide.com/kolicore.html is not even .2 of a gallon, i'd need like 3+ of them..which is OK, but i want to ensure this protects against metal corrosion and algea... koolance systems are proably all one metal so they wouldnt have to worry about that, but mine is copper, and not sure what the Rad is... and i need to protect against algea some how...would this do? thanks :) Also, if you have any alternates let me know...
 
pentosin is VW / Audi antifreeze, go to a VW or Audi dealer and you can buy some from them most likely.

Koolance uses aluminum radiators with gold plated copper water blocks. The coolant they use is a pretty good anti-corrosive but it does come in pitifully small bags by todays standards.
you can find blue glycol coolant made for ford enthusiasts and add some distilled water to that for the same effect in bulk. cummins also comes in blue. and then there is this : http://www.xoxide.com/primoice-nonconductive-fluid-uvblue.html
havent tried it myself so i cant reccomend it and for the volume you need we're back up over $50. i would just go the ford coolant route.
BMW is bloo too
 
thanks for the information guys.. big help! :) ill start calling the big car dealerships in portland...it'll be a long drive tho :S
 
whoa dude i got a damn near life time supply of pentosin by just googling it. then you get a buncha sites selling the bottle for like 9 - 12 bux then shipping is mabe 5 or so (its heavy) and voila you got yer pentosin.

my worklog got some links somewhere to it + lots of pics of it. note well, its not a DEEP blue when you mix it down with distilled water. i know folks that add stuff to it but its usually UV stuff then the blue really comes out.

bu i swear by pentosin for real. got all the stuff you need (anti corrosion, good thermal properties, doenst gum up the tubes), and its NOT GREEN
