Anti-freeze for generator

Our New-to-us 1999 u320 did not come with a manual for the generator. I need to add some coolant to the recovery bottle. It is a Pancake generator with the 3 cylinder Izusu motor. Can anyone,that has this generator, advise me on the recommended coolant?
Thanks

My '99 320 had a tag on it calling for Texaco ELC which Final Charge meets the specs of. That is what I use in the AH, Generator and engine.

I believe the units that went to potable boiler fluid started somewhere in the 2002-2003 model year.  The older ones (our 2000 included) have about 16 gallons of 50:50 ELC coolant in the system instead of a much lower volume of potable boiler fluid.
