ENGINE COOLANT (Glycol – Non-Silicone)
The standard engine coolant/antifreeze is an automotive, silica free, (usually orange
color) mixed 50/50 with distilled water. See the latest edition of the engine
manufacturers fluid service bulletin for detailed specifications.
Capacity: Replenish as required up to maximum of half the coolant overflow bottle.
The level in the overflow bottle should be about in the center of the bottle when the
engine is hot. Filling the bottle with the engine cold may result in overflow after
expansion from the hot engine.
To add engine coolant:
1. Remove the cap and inner screen of the coolant system‟s overflow bottle located on
the upper right (co-pilot‟s side) of the firewall
2. Fill as needed not to exceed the MAX line marked on the outside of the reservoir.

_______
Rotax has advised that in some instances, conventional coolant
(mixture ratio of 50% distilled water and 50% antifreeze) can
vaporize or boil before the maximum permissible cylinder head
temperature is reached. This means the liquid cooling system
can lose a substantial amount of coolant while operating in the
allowed cylinder head temperature range. Evans NPG+
is then recommended only if required due to high engine
temperatures from normal operation. Evans NPG+
waterless coolant and may not be recognized by line personnel
prior to the addition of water to top off the system.
Never add water or water-containing coolant in any
circumstance to an Evans NPG cooling system.
