> Do you have a pure copper radiator with pure copper rods? Probably not, although I didn't submit it for quantitative analysis. But I'll bet you don't have a pure aluminum radiator, either. Aluminum is pretty much always alloyed with things like silicon and iron. > Aluminum radiators do last longer with with a sacrificial zinc rod, anti > freeze formulated for aluminum & distilled water. So does copper. You forgot to mention having to keep the antifreeze and sacrificial anode changed on schedule, not parking it in a barn and forgetting about it. -- Randall |
