[DeTomaso] Weight of Radiators

[Art Stephens]

     Yes Goran,  the Fluidyne is aluminum.  The Fluidyne holds 5 ounces shy 
of 5 quarts.  The stock radiator holds maybe 5 ounces short of a gallon.  So 
it looks like the Fluidyne holds about 25% more water,  sounds like a good 
thing.  At 8.33 pounds per gallon,  a quart is about two pounds.  So,  a 
full stock radiator should be about 39 pounds and a full Fluidyne should be 
about 28 lbs.
