Reusing Pentosin?

[E Bavely]

Hello all...

I was looking for something in the 4kq Bentley manual lately and noticed
that in one of the procedures, the Bentley said to remove the Pentosin
coolant and then save it for reuse.

Not to challenge Mr. Bentley, but common sense would tell me that if you're
going to drain the system, it'd be wise to replace it (unless you just put
it in the car).  I've seen some antifreeze come out of some vehicles that I
hesitate to even stick my hand in let alone reuse...

Is there something different about the composition of the Pentosin coolant
that makes it suitable for reuse more than normal antifreeze?  I know it's
slightly more expensive, but I can't imagine the Bentley taking that into
consideration for most people... Did I misunderstand this in the book?
