There are three grades of
marine/RV antifreeze made: -50, -60 and -100. -50 is for potable water
systems. -60 and -100 are for engines and contain anti-corrosion additives.
All three are forms or propylene glycol, the non-toxic antifreeze. The two
engine antifreezes should no tbe diluted, as is normal for auto antifreeze.
Auto antifreeze is toxic to pets and wildlife, it tastes sweet and they lick
it up if it falls on the ground...
