Evans Waterless Coolant

<< < (2/2)

StephenSLR:
The prep is also ridiculous, apparently you have to remove all water from your cooling system before you can even put the stuff in so it's not contaminated. Probably best for a newly rebuilt engine with all new cooling system components.

Vettech:
I was told 50/50 is the max for water to inhibitor.
Top up when required with water.
Replace after 2 years.

Mind you I have not done this - maybe explains why the heater matrix has disintergrated etc etc.

Oh!
And use distilled or purified water. p.s there is no proof rain water is clean!

bfit:
most engines will tell you when,  the coolant needs changing.

1 it will let the water out, its self, IE rod out through the side
2  engine will not turn over water trying to escape out in to cylinder
3 water combining with oil in sump on  an escape route to the sump plug.
4  other failures, like hoses radiators etc not correctly attached to the engine.

water also has the unique quality of not contaminating anything when it leaks out.
with out additive's it is drinkable in desperate situation's

If everyone starts to use distilled water we will need to open a new coal fired power station to generate the electricity to   manufacture the equipment to be utilised to boil the water to catch the distilled water.
 we then need glass containers manufactured with other equipment that is manufactured using the new power source from the new coal powered  power station.
oh then we need new coal mine to mine the coal to burn in the new power station and the would mean more jobs and prosperity.
oh this sounds like a government announcement.
it must be bull shirt

Interesting report.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this interesting article! What I inferred after reading this article is that although the coolant resists corrosion it requires time taking preparation system and you have to remove all water from the cooling system in order to meet it's conversion requirements.

An old thread that I had forgotten about. Yes, a lot of preparation but I guess this stuff appeals to Leno because he owns something like 200 cars so they tend to sit around undriven for quite a while. And he has staff to do that work.
