I hope you are right, but I'm not drinking any cool aid any time
soon.  :)

I am sort of hoping 200 degree 50/50 will get the flow rate up to the
20 GPM advertised, but haven't got any cheap and easy way to test it
till I get the engine running (soon!).  It could bring the current
readings down too as they are higher than advertised.
