: Can someone tell me if anti-freeze should be used in Model A's ? A fellow in California told me they don't use anti-freeze in Model A's.I guess that is because you don't have to worryabout freezing in southern Ca.,but wouldn't it be advisable to use it to keep down corrosion and also reduce boil over?I'm in Iowa and some winters get pretty cold here, even in astorage garage.
Walt,
Here in the sunny south (GA) we usually use anti-freeze. I and many of our club members have switched to Siera anti-freeze, one of the new enviromentally friendly anti-freezes, but not because of that but because it does not foam. When Prestone or similar products boil over a nasty foam goes all over everything and it is a real mess to clean up. A few members run water, with an anti-rust additive, in the summer and change in the wenter.
