    Top video as always. Just a warning in handling radiator coolant. It has a common base chemical called ethylene glycol, which is highly toxic and can damage the kidneys even if swallowed in small amounts. Ethylene glycol can be absorbed in minimal amounts from skin contact or inhalation, however it is most toxic when ingested. Keep up the great content. Your videos are very interesting and educational.
