Has any one ever tried the Waterless Engine Coolant that Jay Leno's Garage was talking about? Sounds like this stuff was made for Land Rovers.

 

link?

 

Here is a link for some:

never heard of it.
I have no opinion

 

Intruguing. Seems almost too good to be true, but if Terry Bradshaw says it's good it must be.

 

Antifreeze is usually a mixture of a glycol (propylene, dipropylene, etc.) and water (and some anticorrsion additives). These products seem to be 100% glycol and that's why the make the waterless claim. I'm sure their claims are pretty accurate but I don't know if the benefits justify the higher cost.

 

Hmmmm....seems like around $100 to change over (prep fluid + coolant) is a bit high, but then again if it has no corrosion properties and cools better it just might work out. Let me know how it goes.

 

Especially at this point in my engine's life...it's been actively corroding from within for the last decade and a half. Switching at this point doesn't take full advantage of the product. Hoping to gather more information here for use in the future. Once this engine dies and I'm staring down the barrel of a diesel engine swap I'd like to preserve the new engine from the get go.

 

I would think that if it was any good it would come in the car from the factory.
Thats just my opinion, I have nothing to claim that on.

 

Here's the MSDS (attached), it is >69% ethlyene glycol, and less than 1% water.

And their catalog. http://www.evanscooling.com/assets/U...s-Catalog2.pdf

Now if the idea is to gain improvement by running an engine hotter, IMHO all history to this point indicates that a Rover engine might not last very long at this.

And, big fleet operators like FedEX and UPS go to extremes just to save 1%. So 7 - 10% would have this running in every fleet in the US. Pure antifreeze does not cool as well as water, so it will run hotter. Might get away with that in a CAT or Cummins, but Rover?

Now for a car collector, with what most of us would consider low mile use, this might be the thing, as it would minimize cooling system maintenance. Might be OK for the tractor stored out back for low hours use (pulls that one piece of equipment maybe a few times a year).
