The cooling answer for all the weak plastic parts.

This is waterless antifreeze designed to run in ALL systems UNPRESSURIZED and protects to over 300 degrees.You CAN have your cake and eat it too! No more need to strain those cooling systems with 16psi on a 50/50 mix. Get it while it's hot! don-ohio ^)

so your just now finding out about evans?

oh yeah, I forgot... old school.

 

[don-ohio]

Saved it for last! Old school,yannow? don-ohio ^)

Now the one thing with Evans is that your fan will run more. It doesn't absorb the heat as well as my 60/40 mixture. My fan runs very little at noticeable speeds, unless I'm I line at Burger King,LOL! don-ohio ^)

 

[1LoudLS]

so wait, are you recommending using Evans AND leaving your cap loose to be unpressurized?

because even they warn you to keep it sealed up since it is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture and should kept closed.



but then, why listen to them tell you how to use their product...


I sure they are all just sitting there...




in their fancy laboratories and their silly test.

 

[don-ohio]

Yes,you're probably right,as always. LOL! don-ohio ^)

 

[MysticMac]

so am i aloud to buy a v8 now or what ?

 

[don-ohio]

Yes! Buy the V8....it's a much better set-up than the 6. don-ohio ^)

They say it's fine if you don't loosen the cap.REMEMBER the cap lets wet air in during cool down too.You could also find a lower pressure cap,probably to fit it,say,7 lbs.because with this stuff you NEED zero pressure. So you keep your cap tight, but you leave all the extra space down to the lower bottom of the degas bottle. This will give you reduced pressure at the height of the expansion of the Evans coolant.
Now if I do it,I'll extend the hoses leading from the engine to the degas bottle for more fluid expansion space. You just buy a hose like a heater hose and hook it up between the Degas and the tank. THAT insures you have plenty of expansion fluid available in case you don't watch your coolant level once in a while. This stuff does not cook off,evaporate. It boils at THREE HUNDRED-SIXTY DEGREES with no pressure needed. It covers you from that down to -40C/F degrees.
There IS a big drawback,which since I have the optimum system,I won't have to suffer thru. The prep for removing the old glycol mix is very tedious AND expensive. THEN you must take a sample and be < 3% H2O in the system. The flush of your old system takes the Evans Purge fluid,which is very expensive as is the Evans coolant. Once you get it in there,you'll probably be running in the single digits in pressure on your system. don-ohio ^)

Don, working on his cooling system expansion system.

 

[don-ohio]

Yes,yes,......THAT would work! LOL! do-ohio ^)

 

[cammerfe]

Go to a heating supply store and buy the fluid that's used in an in-floor radiant heating system. Both it and Evans are propylene glycol.

[don-ohio]

Wll,yeah,Cammer,but what about PH and specs and viscosity. Those Evans people have it tuned up for a gasoline vehicle cooling system. I'll take a look tomorrow.Thanks,Cammer! don-ohio ^)
