The fan was mounted to that WP and when it failed it nearly took out the radiator (it didn't because the plastic fan broke first).
Depending on where you live (if it's freezing or not) I'd add water before mixing antifreeze, but if you must - well, not like you have an alternative!

I live in Toronto, Canada and it does get cold enough that occassionally the water outdoor would freeze over. MOst of the time it just rains ugly cold rains here. What happens if you don't mix with water at the correct ratio? Some guy I talked to before told me that you are always safe to use higher ratio of antifreeze than water. But I am not sure it that means its safe to use no water at all; or some crazy ratio like 80% water, 20% antifreeze
