antifreeze

Get the First, but try to get the 50/50 so it is already diluted

I run Fleetcharge in mine.
The local Tractor Supply only carries the non diluted version, which needs to be mixed with water.
On the plus side, they sell it for almost the same price as NAPA charges for the 50/50 mix.

4 gallons of 100% and 4 gallons of distilled water or 8 gallons of 50/50 with no water added.
