One of the innovative features of the new Conqueror-powered P-6 was in its cooling system. The water coolant of the earlier P-1 series was to be replaced by Prestone, a trade name for an ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH) mixture.

It is not clear if the cooling system was pressurised…..I’m guessing it probably wasn’t.
