Coolant supplies
Just run out of coolant, Adelaide tools want $80 for 5 litres which seems exorbitant to me considering General tools sell the same stuff for $40 and I can get 5 litres on ebay for $50. Anywhere south of Adelaide where I can get soluble coolant for a reasonable price?

Guys, in the olden days all oil companies used to sell it, my old drum is Mobil, so I did a Google search and only Penrite came up in 5 and 20 litre drums, so check your local supplier.

Coolant
I don't really care what brand, I've used several and really can't differentiate between them. The last lot I had was Penrite I think. I'm thinking of getting a 20 litre can this time, works out cheaper. You can get a 20 litre drum of Fuchs Ecocool on ebay for $120.

Fuel distributors
I tried the local fuel distributor here and wouldm't you know it, they'd just run out. These days it seems most businesses wait until their stocks are depleted before ordering more, I'm sure it makes sense to them. Anyway he quoted me $70 for 5 litres - when his stocks arrive that is. I went to ebay and found some Fuchs for $122 for 20 litres - that'l do me, half the price!
