Ahhhhh....Oxidized Alkenes, my favorite. I think you meant to say "Ethylene Glycol". Ethylene Glycol is 100% water soluable as it is a a cold temperature hydroxl reaction to convert Ethylene to ethylene glycol.

Ethylene Glycol is 100% water soluable as it is a a cold temperature hydroxl reaction to convert Ethylene to ethylene glycol. While propylene either needs to react with permanganate ion or osmium tetroxide to form propylene glycol. So unless you want a radiator filled with cis-1,2 cyclopentanediol you better stick with Ethylene based coolant.

Then you definitely have a problem. You should have coolant flow from both points with the engine running (won't do it right with the engine off, they are too high up). Hook up some hoses to the bleed points and start the motor, then bleed.

Don't know where you got the thread but I stand by the chemistry involved. PG is not miscible with water. A trip to Pep Boys found NO propylene glycol? I could be wrong but chemistry and physics are two consatnts I'm comfortable with
