[Chevelle-list] redline waterwetter

Out here in California where it never gets close to freezing, I also use
100% distilled with a bottle of WaterWetter. My Chevelle pretty much always
runs at thermostat temperature, so I can't say I saw a drop in max
temperatures. The biggest help is that water is a better conductor of heat
than antifreeze, and the less antifreeze you have the better your cooling
system will work.
Antifreeze does two things that you need. One is freeze protection, and the
other is lubrication of your water pump. You need something to lubricate,
so you can't use pure water. Use as little antifreeze as you can (based on
their mix ratios), or use an additive that has lubricants, such as
WaterWetter.

Not Mike but I used it in both my ZR-1 Corvettes. Good stuff. If used
according to directions,you can plan on a 10-20 degree drop in temps. During
the summer,I ran 100% distilled water with one or two bottle of Waterwetter.
There's a bottle of it in my El Camino's radiator now,too.
