Sub-Zero
Now that the temps in the mid-west are hovering in the sub-freezing temps, I decided to check my sub-zero tank. (Yes, it is still attached) It is empty, and I know it should have a 90/10 ethol-glycol / water mix. What side effects would I see from the sub-zero tank having run empty? Also, I have a jug of 50/50 pre-mix, would that surfice, or should I stick w/ 90/10?

It's been a couple of months, and the tank is nearly empty. So it pumped out on its own. I'm going to fill it up again and try to keep a better eye on it to see if it goes down durring the summer.

Too old for this
I had the opposite problem. When I got the car it was bone dry so I filled it back up. I ripped it out when I realized it would siphon/drain completely empty in about a week without ever turning the car on. Surprisingly, I've never had problems starting her even in -20°F Colorado winters.
