The recommended "Bluecol" proportions for your car are given below. With this
anti-freeze in the cooling water it is unnecessary to drain the system, even in the
coldest weather, and one filling lasts the whole winter. "Bluecol" does not
evaporate; therefore it is only necessary to top up with water in the usual manner.
Recommended "Bluecol" proportions for protection from various degrees of frost.
NOTE.—We recommend that you provide for the cooling system, ample protection
against sudden fall in temperature, by using in your car the 20% proportion of
"Bluecol".
Caution
Before adding the anti-freeze preparation make sure that the water hose clips are
securely fitted and the cylinder head nuts are tight. If the solution is able to escape
through a leaking gasket into the cylinders it may be burnt into a tacky substance
capable of doing harm to the engine. However, this could only happen in the rare
event of a faulty gasket.
If the car is taken to a garage for any repair which involves draining the radiator it is
advisable to state that the radiator contains an anti-freeze, so that the cooling water
can be preserved and used again.
