Did you run out before you finished running pink through the generator? Not sure I understand when you ran out of antifreeze.

There are two different types of "Pink Stuff". One can be used in engines as it contains some sort of
anti corrosion chemical, the other which is about $1.00 per gal less should not be used in engines.
Either of the 2 pinks are available at West Marine but there are many other sources as well. Just be
sure you're not suckered into buying the cheap version which is Not good for engines. BTW, both pinks
will protect to the same temps. If you need stronger cold protection, they also have a dark blue one that
is probably unnecessary except in extreme cold like the great lakes and Maine.

Are you talking pink as in non toxic water system anti freeze? Don't think you want that in there. It won't freeze, but not sure what it does to various metals/galvanic action etc. etc.

I purchased in bulk in 55 gallon drum I guess I need to check with the manufacturer TKS

Not in the cooling system but I think most of the guys run it through the raw water side.
