[Spridgets] Waterless Engine Coolant

[Ron Soave]

"Waterless coolants" are used in my business all the time (make that
"exclusively", really) and there is usually a trade. I'm guessing this stuff
works extremely well at normal operating temperatures with a higher boiling
point (liquid water is a good coolant until it vaporizes!). There is always a
compromise somewhere - it might be viscosity (greater pumping losses, or, like
PAO very high viscosity much below zero F and some issue with compatibility
with seals, or very high price, or, like Coolanol, which becomes alcohol when
water contaminates it). It sounds like Mr. Evans hit upon a nice compromise
that addresses overheating in ethylene glycol/water systems really well. I'm
tempted to try it in a street Spridget.
