[DeTomaso] Gates Green Stripe Hose

[gow2 at rc-tech.net]

I ran Evans in the MG for a while. It actually did not cool as well. The
only way you would know is if a cooling system is having a hard time
keeping up which the MG was at the time. It struggled more with Evans.

The advantage obviously being a no pressure system and a system which
eliminates hot spots since boiling point is so much higher.

There were a couple other issues I had with it. On the road if you have a
leak you are very limited on what you can add. I needed to drain the
system a couple times for different reasons and it was a pain collecting
the stuff (too expensive to flush). Even harder on a Pantera.

Third, I read about a couple crashes where drivers got burned when it
spilled an ignited! It is evidently quite flammable.
