Would engine coolant be suitable?

Hi
Any of the local plumbing shops will be able to supply you a 10 litre drum at €50
You cannot use normal anti freeze as it's toxic and if the coil within the cylinder ever leaked you would kill everybody in the house
Glycol is non toxic
Why do you need the fluid? OP
