Anybody out there use Evans coolant? Little on the spendy side, about $40 a gallon, but, no water and a boiling point of over 375 degrees. Advantage, no water so no corrosion and no boil over.
Or, has anybody used waterwetter? Supposed to drop coolant temps by 10-15 degrees. It does work, have used it in off-road application

I know with Evans it’s all in the prep work. All rust, scale and old coolant must be removed first. Not an easy task. Especially with the long runs back to the water heater and heater itself. Since good old EG green coolant is still readily available, I’m sticking with it.
Here’s a thought. Since water wetter “transfers more heat”, shouldn’t the liquid at the thermostat neck exit be higher temp as more heat has been transferred to the coolant? Conversely, the coolant exiting the radiator should be cooler as more heat should be rejected to the air. So now where do you take your temp reading to be accurate?
