Wouldn't want to use it if I was prone to leaks!!!
Also it may not display boiling over but it does allow your old engine to covertly run hotter.....
Back in the day I melted a piston on a Rover V8 in a similar scenario..... :jpshakehead:

Snake oil might be cheaper  :017:

Seriously though, I don't know, but water is plentiful......well up here it is.....maybe too plentiful  :icon_sad:

My little Chevy engined Flatfender was alway 'bordeline' on cooling so have been using this for years and is a fraction of the cost of the Waterless Coolant.

Main thought I had was the non corrosive principle of using this could be of benefit?

Wetter water basically is an additive not a replacement, right?

Still rather pricey, and you'd be pissed if you blow a hose :011:

If you have a cooling system problem ie. blocked rad. or whatever this wont fix it, it just does  'what is says on the tin'.......it has worked for my Jeep for 10+ years.
