when water transitions from liquid to crystal ice (the normal kind of ice) it expands due to the arrangement of the molecules. Having the same amount of mass in a larger volume means it is less dense. That is why ice bergs float, because they are less dense than the water around them. That is also why ice cubes float. Also icebergs aren't salty, but the water they are suspended in is, and salt water is heavier than fresh water.

Objects that are less dense than water float on water

Reason for Ice Berg Float

as density increases in bottle it tends to occupy large volume so it fills the bottle when froze

Cooling AND boiling properties sorting out end the optimal ratio is 60/40 distilled water/antifreeze. yet once you place 2 diverse "sealants" contained in the gadget, and your mechanic condones this, you need to replace your coolant with a reliable flush, and likewise replace your mechanic for somebody who is conscious what they are doing. there is not any mechanic in a bottle that even remotely works.
