    IIRC the boiling point raises 3* per PSI, so water will boil at 251* at 13 PSI with str8 water, mix 50/50 coolant and it goes 100* hotter... 210* is nothing

    So how will it change with altitude,I have found my truck runs about 195.But after taking it down to Grass Valley (4000ft) and then driving up the hill again(7000)it went up to 210 for a little bit and then dropped again.Was wondering what altitude does to boiling point.Also what does distilled water do to boiling point as I run that with a water wetter.Thanks
