Can I use green coolant instead of orange?
Can I mix green coolant with orange coolant? This is one of those questions usually asked after the fact, and usually engine damage has already occurred. The green and orange coolants do not mix. When mixed together they form a gel-like substance that stops coolant flow, and consequently, the engine overheats.
Can the wrong coolant cause leaks?
Can the wrong type of coolant agent cause damage to the water pump? Yes, using the wrong coolant agent can have a major impact on the operational safety of coolant pumps. In the majority of cases, they will start to leak and therefore lose coolant agent.
What happens if coolant is not mixed with water?

It raises the boiling point of water, as it mixes with it perfectly and it prevents rust. In Florida, you can run straight water in the radiator, but will rust out your freeze plugs. You can run straight antifreeze, but it does not absorb heat as well as water, so you may overheat.
How far can you drive with no water in radiator?
From a cold start, you could probably go for at least 1km, maybe 2. If you were driving and the radiator was shot and got emptied, I doubt you can go 400m. If you do that, start the engine and drive straight off, accelerate gently up to 40-50km/h, put on neutral and let it coast.
How long can you run an engine without water?
