David K's answer is the correct one. Get some Fleetguard coolant (brand name is Compleat)-I don't think I spelled it correctly - since this contains the protection products needed and also is usable in the engine. Had my genset start then stop shortly (30-45 seconds) and the fault code was low coolant. The service tech used some of my spare coolant for the engine (Cummings tech).

Thanks, Robb! We'll look for Compleat. Does anybody know if the CAT engine uses that brand also?

Regular antifreeze, green stuff.
You may consider carrying a gallon or two of the new yellow stuff that is advertised as universally useable with all types now in use. It is avalible premixed with de-ionized water, just pour it in.
Not a good idea to mix colors, not because of the color but some is ethylene glycol, some propylene glycol, turns to jello if you mix them. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Wow, gunny, we certainly don't want it to turn to jello. I'm assuming what's in there now is ethylene glycol according what Chris posted. Does anybody know if Compleat is ethylene glycol? ...assume that it is.
Thanks to both of you for some great advice!
Everybody's been great!
Stay tuned for more of our newbie adventures!
