Phosphate Free Antifreeze is available everywhere. Try an autosupply
house, try parts places, I found so many kinds at one parts place I
had to read each label carefully, and still found it difficult to
decide.

Caveat: At Home Hardware two years ago I bought "Extended Use"
phosphate free antifreeze I believe by "Prestone" ( in a yellow jug
anyway) and completely flushed my coolant system. I now see that it
has turned rusty coloured and has "crud" in it. As soon as the
weather breaks I am going to flush again and use this new stuff I
bought.
