Waterless Coolant

[backlander]

Does anyone here have any experience with Evans Waterless Engine Coolant and if so what are your thoughts on it ? Other than it being a little pricey, I've already figured that much out. :smilie_happy:

Never even heard of the stuff. I'm not real impressed though with expensive stuff.

What makes it interesting to me is the operating temp of - 40 to 375, no steam possible until 375 which means no hotspots or excessive pressure buildup at heads which would benefit head gasket problems, can be used in systems with or without thermostats, no system boilover, no excessive system pressure buildup, no corrosion and no ethylene glycol.

https://www.evanscoolant.com Here's a link, thinking about trying it in Atila since I won't have to flush or drain the system, that part is already done. Not to that point yet but I have to think ahead of the game.

It's been around a long time and intriguing. Mostly since it's pricey I've never tried it.

My thoughts are if you increase your odds of not having head gasket problems, ($200.00), not having water pump and other corrosion and pressure type cooling system problems ($175.00) plus labor and downtime it would offset the initial cost of the coolant.

Looks like it is regularly being used in motocross. Jay Leno goes through a pretty good interview with them:

Looks good to me. :builder:

Fred Camper posted recently that he works for a company that tests things like this. Although it doesn't boil, it had higher internal temperatures around the valves. A question mark for me still.
