Military Specification MIL-C 11755 Arctic type. nonvolatile antifreeze compound is intended for use in cooling system of
liquid-cooled internal combustion engines for protection against freezing primarily in Arctic regions where the ambient
temperature remains for extended periods of time close to -40 F. or drops below, to as low as -90 F.

Use an accurate hydrometer. To test hydrometer, use 1 part ethylene glycol antifreeze to 2 parts water. This should produce
a hydrometer reading of 0F.
Note. Fasten a tag near the radiator fillercap indicating the type of antifreeze, and amount.
