[DeTomaso] Fwd: Re: Pantera Coolant

[Julian Kift]

IIRC Fluidyne now recommend a bottle of the No-Rosion for partly the same reason, many of their radiators failures were attributed to galvanic corrosion. It's common to use a sacrificial anode in such circumstances e.g. a lump of zinc which will be digetsed preferentially over the aluminum.
