I was reading in the archives, about using pure glycol antifreeze in the crankcase of a froze up engine. My question is to Gord who said to do this, can I use just pure proplyene glycol that is fed to cattle and get the same results verses an antifreeze with pure glycol? Thanks for your imput.

Howdy Butch, For starters I put the antifreeze in the cylinders not the cranckcase. But open the cranck and let the oil drain and leave it open so you know when the glycol is coming through.
Propylene should work I would think IF it has anticorrosives in it. I know it will travel easily as I use it in hot water heating systems at my job and even after pressure testing a new system with air and or water when we put the propylene in we invariably find a leak somewhere.
Now I have a question for you, Why would you feed propylene to cattle???

Gord,
we feed propylene glycol to cattle when they are not eating correctly. It is a source of high energy and sometimes it trips their trigger to get eating again. If you want more info just leave a note on this site.
