I'm interested in anyone's experience with Evans Coolant. I have more than a couple of cars and sometimes they don't get driven for long periods of time. Evans coolant claims to be better at all kinds of things but it also claims to be totally non-corrosive.

Anyone know of a downside to running Evans NPG? I'd really hate to cause harm to something like my Lotus Elan +2. It's self harming enough already.
I just read that Darton recommends it...

 

I wish I knew a bit more about these "waterless" coolants. Because of their exotic characteristics and cost relative to the use for most people here, you'll see that on this forum, very few will ever use it.

 

At about $30.00 a gallon it seems expensive unless you've experienced a Dexcool moment. Leno puts it his Bugatti so I guess I can put it in a well used Porsche 911.

 

Well if Leno does it...... I guess, man.

 

Oh that coolant is the bees knees!

 

man that guy has it all lol

 

I ran Evans coolant in my old hatch. Worked well but the engine was a piece of **** so i got tired of smelling it burning through the exhaust. Its got a very sweet syrup odor when being burn in the engine LOL.

Its glycol based has a higher boiling point than water and or coolant

 

LOL

Meh, Leno has a Bugatti Type 51 and several Duesenberg Model SJ's. Running some kind of alien fluid through them would be the same as running cheap Tequila through your veins as a blood substitute. Of course Patron would be Ok.

Anyway, I was really expecting that researching Evans NPG would be the same as researching one of those miracle oil additives. You know, the ones that some testimonials claim it fixed their cracked cylinder sleeves and cured their dogs mange. While others say it cracked their cylinder sleeves and gave their dogs mange.

So far, all I'm finding is pretty positive and shockingly realistic and so far no one says it gave their cylinder sleeves mange. It's a good sign that, Darton recommends it.

 

IMO its recommended. Ecause it's not going to cause electrolysis or corrosion or rust on the iron sleeves. When you pull a sleeved block apart that's been running water the sleeves are generally rusty

 

Any typical additive will work just fine as well. Depending on the track, they don't allow you to run anything but water. Either way, exposed iron/steel isn't anything new... the solutions have been figured out over 60 years ago. Home made methods worked just as well as product put out by manufactures.

I am not sure if you are talking about an alternative to straight water or your typical 50/50 mix. If you are worried about water solutions are already there. If you are worried about antifreeze, you should look up the properties of them. Antifreeze has gotten a lot worse and in other ways a lot better than the old good stuff. Dexcool is and always will be garbage. They should have called it "GasketEater" or "SludgeBuilder" instead.

 

Man is that ever the truth about Dexcool...how can GM keep doing that to people. I'm not sure of the chemistry involved in Dexcool but it universally seems to be despised. I have Dexcool in an RV that I have to flush that crap out of. The 8.1 V8 in it honestly seems to be a nice motor. It worries me...

 

Im running this coolant in my hatch right now. Since i changed to this type i have took offf the head once and havent seen any type of rust, also it runs alot cooler. My car takes a decent time to warm up now before i can do my burnout. I paid $45 a gallon. I have a 3 core radiator and it used 1 1/2 gallons... I would also reccomend getting the chaser that absorbs all the old coolant/water out of your motor... Hope this helps
