[QUOTE="timbo3282, post: 10918051, member: 30499"] To address the point you added about potentially not needing the anode - no matter what we do, some amount of electrolysis is going to occur in the cooling systems. So, knowing that some level of corrosion is going to occur what part do [B][U]YOU[/U][/B] want being eaten away? The aluminum of the radiator or the zinc sacrificial anode? Not only is it a heck of a lot easier to replace the anode drain plug once its been eaten away to a certain point, the radiator will never burst because the anode has been eaten away to a certain point. Once electrolysis has eaten the radiator away to a point, it WILL burst every time. There is a reason every boat, bridge, lock, dam, other piece of metal submerged in water have sacrificial zinc anodes attached to them - because when properly installed and maintained they just plain work.
