  1. About 65% of the engine coolant leaked out while riding . Where I live I can’t find the orange coolant it has right now . In the mean time can I just add water to fill it back up to normal level . It’s at MIN level right now .
Any auto parts seller should have pre-mixed 50/50 universal coolant that mixes with any other coolant. It does not have to be orange. I would try to find that before using water. Water will work in a pinch but you should only use it as a last resort. If you do use water then as soon as you can get the proper coolant you should drain the water mix and refill with the right stuff to protect your engine for the long term Good luck.

the hose did not break the tank did
you did not have the hose secured and it pulled on the wimpy barb
you can find those tanks used on line cheap
they are the same as seadoo has used for a long time

I believe there was discussion here in the last few months about other brands of antifreezes MAY coagulate with the BRP orange....did anyone see, or was involved in that thread? Will try to find it.
