Coolant and distilled/demineralized water posses unique densities, or specific gravities, like your fave ale or dry Irish stout (yet don't be drinking no antifreeze or coolant mix, k?).

Thermal-induced currents, the water pump transfer volumes, and mostly so the solubility between antifreeze and distilled/demineralized water facilitates a coolant mix after sometime in the water jacket. (Don't ask me for proof rigging up my camera or testing equipment to a hot B30 E engine.)

That stated, I pour both antifreeze and distilled/demineralized water into the coolant expansion tank simultaneously; yet the antifreeze container empties before the water empties from the distilled/demineralized water containing container so the outcome is the correct mix.

Remember folks, do not ever use tapwater when mixing with antifreeze to make coolant.

Hope that helps.
