You should add water to it, actually, if water didnt freeze, it would be
the ideal coolant, it has one of the best heat transfer coefficients of
any readily avaliable liquid (including ethol-glycol (antifreeze))
in my opinion, the only advantage to anti-freeze is just that, helping the
coolant not freeze....
