Default Waterless Coolant

Has anyone got any information on waterless coolant product?

Has it been talked about before?

Anyone used this product on their classic cars?

Cheers

HaPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Been watching wheeler Dealers on Foxtel ?
I was also curious about this product. Looks like a great idea, but costly for the initial preparation.

If there is no water then what is transferring the heat? We used to get cars overheating because people were putting 100% coolant in with no water.

its a brilliant idea

Q. How do the OAT additives in Evans Waterless Coolant remain in solution without the presence of water?

A.Evans Waterless Coolant contains no additive that requires water to dissolve or to enable the additive to function

Wheelers dealers showed it on an old car...a new euro 5 emmisions powerplant might have different results, who wants to be a guinea pig?

(hint: if it ain't broke why fix it?)

I have heard of it before but never remembered to do any research on it

Dave leno says he has been using it for 15 years

How could a product be out that long and not being used in any of our cars ???

Hehe wheeler dealers rocks! I'd been to know how long it lasts for.
With no additives to break down or seperate from the water it should last ages.

Easy, it isn't OEM in cars so it must be bad.

As they claim it outlasts conventional collant, significantly raises boiling point and reduces presure, so there would dozens of companies interested in not seeing this product become OEM.

By the sounds it seems to be good stuff

I suspect that this is 100% Propylene Glycol. http://msds.orica.com/pdf/shess-en-c...0000030984.pdf
