[AJD] anti freeze

[Frank]

Steve:
we are talking in the short term here...........

added a bit of water to a B this summer and last week tested it.............
at the top 5 above
drained some out of the bottom ........50 below.......

evaporation has concentrated the original fluid and the added though run 
many times (trail ride of 22 miles once)did have some color but very 
little.........

for all intents and purposes ....it will not mix!

sorry!
