Guys,

I was speaking with one of my friends about the recent problems I have with my radiator. I told him after my trip I will be installing an aluminum radiator. He told me about a potential problem with aluminum radiators. The problem is electrolysis which can eat away the aluminum. He mentioned to combat this Flex-a-Lite fans sells a zinc anode that can go in place of the drain cock or any 1/4" NPT fitting in the cooling system. The zinc will be eaten by the galvanic action instead of the aluminum. See below link for the details.
