coolant question

Post by Bfenske »

Do you guys use coolant of a regular 50/50 standard anti freeze/distilled water only or do any of you use a coolant with rust inhibitors added? Just want to know because i'll probably change out the coolant soon on the two volvo diesels on the b31 and was wondering if I should keep it the same as it is currently (no rust inhibitor) or do something different. Just bought the boat so that is why i'm asking.

Use diesel truck antifreeze that has SCA in it to prevent cavitation erosion to the piston liners.
