What is the advantage of waterless coolant?

What is the advantage of waterless coolant?

Evans Waterless Coolant provides distinct advantages over traditional water-based coolant. The absence of water avoids the formation of vapor, high pressure and boil-over, and prevents corrosion and electrolysis. Evans’ high boiling point and lower freeze point allow a wider and safer operating temperature range.

How do I switch to waterless coolant?

How do I install Evans waterless coolant in my vehicle?

1. Drain all old water-based coolant out from radiator, block, and heater core if accessible.
2. Use high volume air to force out remaining coolant.
3. Fill with Evans Prep Fluid (waterless flush) and run for 15 minutes to circulate.

Can you put waterless coolant in any car?

Even when you purchase antifreeze for your vehicle, most manufacturers encourage you to cut the coolant in half with water. Any coolant option which contains water promotes overheating and may contribute to premature engine corrosion. That is why waterless coolant is an alternative to consider for any vehicle.

Can you add water to Evans waterless coolant?

In the short term, no performance issues should result from mixing a small amount of conventional coolant or straight water with Evans waterless coolant. However, the high boiling point and corrosion protection of Evans waterless coolant will be reduced, and the coolant should be replaced as soon as possible.

What antifreeze does Jay Leno use?

In a recent interview for Jay Leno’s garage Mike Tourville of Evans USA talks about the benefits of waterless coolants. Jay has been using Evans since he first installed it in his Merlin powered Rolls-Royce 16 years ago and has had no more problems with overheating or corrosion.

Does Evans waterless coolant expand?

Evans waterless coolants expand 7% at operating temperature, about the same as traditional antifreeze. If there is no expansion tank on the system, the radiator will purge a small amount upon warmup.

Can I mix water with Evans coolant?

What effect will mixing Evans coolant with water or water-based coolant have on my cooling system? In the short term, no performance issues should result from mixing a small amount of conventional coolant or straight water with Evans waterless coolant.

Is it OK to put straight antifreeze in your car?

Pure antifreeze-coolant isn’t nearly as efficient at getting the heat out of the engine as is antifreeze-coolant and water. Running on pure antifreeze-coolant is pure folly and only will hasten your engine’s demise.

Is waterless coolant flammable?

On balance, Evans Waterless Coolants are not more fire-prone than standard water-based antifreezes. Neither antifreeze concentrate (without water) nor water-glycol antifreeze coolant is likely to be a first-fuel in a vehicle fire, but both can be ignited.

What is waterless antifreeze?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Waterless coolant is a glycol-based liquid substance that does not contain water. Its boiling point of 191 °C (375 °F) is higher than that of water-based coolants and it resists the formation of corrosion.
