I recently read to not mix Waterwetter with coolant ? Has anyone heard or know why not ? Whipple recommends a mix which I now have in my car of course. Thanks
$10 is a waste of money? I currently run a mix of 80% distilled water 20% coolant and a bottle of Water Wetter... if that combo pulls ONE MORE additional degree of heat off the heads I consider it worth it with all the cooling issues present in the 99-01 and unrevised 03-04 Cobra castings!:rockon:For the average street car running antifreeze, it's a waste of money.....in my opinion, of course. I stopped using it years ago for that reason. Now, if you run water, you should see the advertised reductions.
I have the larger HE with fans, the instructions with the blower suggest using 1or2 bottles of WaterWetter to reduce air bubble insulation. They say for higher boost 75% water and lower go 50%. I'll have to see if I can find who posted not to use it.

The Conklin product is mandatory use in Indy Car. Reduces scale and corrosion.
Recently I switched to Amsoil Coolant Booster and saw some very good temperatures on the dyno.
Van,
Did you use Conklin with Amsoil Coolant Booster, or only when you were using Water Wetter?
No I did not.
Van, what causes contamination? I've seen WW turn cooling fluid milky white, most likely due to too much antifreeze (Motorcraft Gold in this case) in the mix or not using distilled water? The owner couldn't get rid of it even after repeated flushing, including pulling the block plugs to get as much out as possible. The solution was to take it to the dealer for a professional flush, that did the trick but the owner went back to antifreeze w/o any additives.
