I am having a bit of a hard time understanding the original Italian sentence because it seems it can be ambiguous. In this context, does this mean that the coolant is made up of 50% water and 50% glycol, or that the coolant itself is comprised of 50% water and glycol mix (with the other 50% being something else)?
