[DeTomaso] Tefba Coolant Filter

[michael at michaelshortt.com]

Mike,

As long as you use a proper coolant mix with distilled water from day one (
since you have that opportunity ),
why do you think you need one?  Most all of the crud in a cooling system is
either rust from an unprotected engine
that has sat around or more often, comprised of water treatment additives
like lime, etc. from tap water.

I guess it couldn't hurt unless it became clogged, but if your block/system
is in that bad shape, maybe clogging this filter
should be the least of your worries.

I've had outstanding results with 1/3 100% PEAK antifreeze, 2/3 distilled
water and a bottle of water wetter.

If you do decide to install one, take lots of photos.
