Madeej, you and I are not connecting. After a flush done with water ( which all shops use to flush), if you add coolant from a 50/50 jug, mathematicallly, you will never have more than 50 % coolant. I find, after running water through the engine and heater cores, both front and rear, there is so much water left in the system, you can fill your radiator with straight 100 % coolant and come out fairly close to 50/50 at the end, as measured with density based measuring tool. The results will vary depending on the vehicle design. I have done this with four vehicles that have front and rear coolers, numerous times.
