Make sure it's not premixed antifreeze if you do it that way!

actually, as long as he's not in a colder climate, he probably could if that's all he had lying around. you can do a 70/30 mixture and still be within the safety limit. and yes i know it'd be a 75/25 mix if he uses the 50/50 BUT, no fear of freezing if it's in California, Texas, or Florida.

I would still keep it 50/50

too much antifreeze and it will over heat.  Too much water and it will cause rust and scale and other deterioration.

Antifreeze serves 3 purposes.  To keep the coolant from freezing, to lubricate parts like your water pump, and to protect against corrosion.

But, it's still one of those 'just in case' situations.

It wont hurt to use a bit more water than coolant. Just don't use tap water.

Distilled water for both your coolant system and battery if you ever ever ever ever have a need to add more water to it.

What is the fuel capacity for our cars? I said 16 gallons in the Haynes but I usually always though it was around 12 gallons because the needle is almost at the end and I re-fuel.
