    I tried Redline Water Wetter back in the early days when I was =
disperate
to get the oil and coolant temps down.  While others (in car useage) had
reported dramatic (10F) drops, I could not detect it making any =
difference
in my system.  Didn't hurt, didn't help.

=3D=3D=3D>  Even if it didn't lower the temp, it would be worth adding =
for the
corrosion additives alone.  Normally you get that sort of protection =
from
the antifreeze, but it you're running distilled water, you need some
additives. =20

The other thing that the car guys are nuts about is Evan's coolant.  =
Best I
can tell, it's a pure antifreeze liquid that you don't dilute with =
water.
The down side is that it isn't nearly as good as pure water at removing
heat, so your temps tend to run higher.  The good news is that it boils =
at
something like 370 degrees, so it ain't gonna boil in your engine.  When =
you
run this stuff, you either run a non-pressurized system, or a very low =
(5-7
lb) pressure.  Of course if you're using an oil/water heat exchanger =
like I
am, Evan's would be exactly the wrong thing to use. =20
