Is that pre-mixed?

at 33% that would make cooling system volume 30 litres!!!

No in total...I remember using 1 x gallon and mixing slightly over a 50/50 ratio, Probably had around 12 litres once mixed..There was probably some left in the engine and matrix..I had to top up with around 1 litre after a day ..

So about 5 litres of antifreeze Zig, that sounds about right when i added it 5 years ago. Happy new year bud.

I mix mine at 25% so half that ;^) That gives sufficient corrosion protection which is what you're really after - not much chance of a hard frost this year!

Also I mow use condensate water from the condensing tumble dryer, as it won't contain any calcium or chlorine. (And it smells nicer...)
