Antifreeze
I drained some very new antifreeze from my mustang and stored it in my garage for about 4 weeks. Can I pour this back into the car 4 weeks later or should I buy new again??

It's not sealed, it's been sitting in a drain pan on the garage floor covered with paper bags. I originally drained it to remove my intake manifold. The car should be running when I fill it up..huh??

you can pour it back and run a freeze test on it with a cheap freeze tester...
you also need to make sure there were no pieces that fell into the antifreeze while it was sitting... |

Okay perfect thx. I think I'm just gonna add some new stuff...I've come all this way..don't wanna screw things up now.

i'd rather spend 20 or 30 bucks on new stuff then spend the cash on a rebuild later, not saying you're going to bake the motor if you put the old stuff in, but for the peace of mind, new coolant would be the way to go IMO

Yes I totally agree. I actually put the old anitfreeze in containers just last night to get ready to dispose of them. I'll make sure I wear goggles when the car is running as I pour.. Thank you very much. I'll post pics later tonight of what I've done so far..but she's just about ready to fire up. :)

Yes, I'll buy the distilled water and antifreeze tonight and mix it 50/50. Thanks guys. :)
|
but be careful with mixing. and i think its already pre-mixed.
|
you can pour it back and go for freeze test. if its work its nice if not go for new one.
|
well don't worry just pour it back. but remember to mix the new stuff.
