Evans Waterless Coolant

[gtc]

Have heard Leno mention this stuff a few times on Jay Leno's Garage.  Anyone have experience of this stuff?

Gtc,
I haven't used but did look up reviews. Refer link

Check out the findings on the last page.
Also thought I have previously read this stuff ends up with more metal in it than when it started, meaning it may corrode your components.
Keep researching.

I read that review some time ago. Just the engine running 30 - 40 degrees hotter was enough to put me off.

Interesting report.

It’s hard to beat water as a coolant,
First and foremost most it’s available just about everywhere.
Your engine /radiator will work with water as a coolant for 20 to 40 years,
In that time you will change  it several times for various reasons.

If you worried about corrosion then us an additive.
That is compatible with you engine
Ie iron or aluminium,
We see all sorts of mmmm improvements that are promoted by their manufacturers.
What I ask myself when these producers are presented is,
Who benefits the most  when this is purchased

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.

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!

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

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.
