Hydrolastic suspension........
Posted: Sun Dec 03, 2023 8:15 pm
Hello,
I just bought a hydrolastic fluid pump from the UK to pump up my Metro suspension.
Fluid is readily available in the UK.....not so much in the US (one place only carries it and it totals out with shipping to $100+ per gallon!).
The pump manufacturer and numerous other places state that a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water is a good substitute.
I found this PDF from Penrite stating the same (but a different ratio of only 1/3 antifreeze to 2/3 water).

Any thoughts on the difference in concentrations and also experiences using the substitute of antifreeze/water in general?
Thanks,
Julian
