[DeTomaso] FW: FW:- Waterless Coolant

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

A couple of Pantera guys currently use it (not me). Besides what Gary 
mentioned, it runs at atmospheric pressure so the rad cap needs to be vented 
rather than pressure-holding.   I'm also told its a good idea to use high temp 
hoses, gaskets and seals in parts that contact the stuff as it can reach much 
higher temps than pressurized water. You may not get nucleate-boiling 
bubbles with Evans, but the temps the heads see in the sensitive exhaust valve 
seat areas are pretty much the same as with pressurized water. 

No racers in any series in the world that I know of use the stuff 
regularly. Not sure, but Propylene Glycol (Evans Coolant) may be banned on tracks for 
the same reason that Ethylene Glycol (conventional antifreeze) is: when 
spilled as in an accident, hot glycol reacts with asphalt so that part of the 
track becomes permanently slippery. Repair involves removal of the affected 
asphalt. Hot glycol also dissolves lead from babbit main & rod bearings, so 
internal engine leaks into the pan are un-good with any glycols.
No, thanks; maybe later- J Deryke
