has anyone used the engie ice coolant thats biodegradable if so was there a tempature decrease that was noticed???

 

yes. I use it in my track bike, and I've used it in my race cars. it's awesome. But only if you live in an area that doesn't get colder than 30deg. otherwise, it'll freeze.

also, if you're going to use propylene glycol, you must completelyflush your coolant system w/ water to eliminate all of the ethylene glycol from the system. if you let them mix, it's very very bad

 

ive got a new post see if you can help me out with it. its about my car running weired.

 

so if it'll freeze why not use water? I doubt it keeps engines cooler than regular water.

 

well water, in the liquid form, does have the highest specific heat, when considering naturally occuring elements, meaning it absorbs the most energy and only gains a relatively low temperature increase. this also means that it takes a lot more energy to cool that same water down. synthetically tho, there are many water substitutes designed to withstand the same amount of energy, in many cases more, and also it doesn't freeze making it clutch for situations where the temperatures go that low.

that's really nice what you just said, but it has no bearing on this post. nice use of chemistry textbook text, though...

Engine Ice boils at a higher temperature than water--that's what makes it better than water.

I, however, was wrong in my original post. Engine Ice will freeze below 5deg, not 30deg, like I said earlier.

my bad. but the rest of my original post was correct.
