I can say, from the experience of four different Vanagons, that filled
with plain water, the light, on properly working systems, won't blink.
That 50/50 ratio tale is just another Vanagon myth.


Turning on the key and waiting for a period of time, does indeed work to
tame a blinky light, if the capacitor in the gauge is becoming
electrically leaky.
