Antifreeze 50/50
Hey Everyone,
I have for many years put 100% Anitfreeze on previous cars of mine and my dad's.
As well as my present Honda, I always figured that pure antifreeze would be less likely to boil.
However reading up on this, they claim that infact 100% antifreeze is "more likely" to boil then
50/50. Is this correct? If so, what issues if any is there by me using pure antifreeze?
Thanks again, in advance!

Well for starters, antifreeze requires water to ACTIVATE the chemicals required to protect against boiling and freezing...
Actually.. here's a good FAQ about it:

Yeah, actually the water is required for the anti-corrosion package, not for freezing. Freezing point is probably lowest with straight glycol, but that's not good for cooling or corrosion.
Straight water is best for cooling. But that's pretty bad for corrosion.
