Can I mix water wetter with coolant?

Can I mix water wetter with coolant?

Water Wetter does work. It will be more effective in straight water than a antifreeze/water mix. Personally, 5-10 degree drop in temps. Some circle track guys I used to live by swore by the stuff to drop 10-20 degrees off in straight water.

Why is there water in my coolant reservoir?

Coolant, or antifreeze, is essential to regulating the temperature of your vehicle. It’s also extremely toxic and designed to stay inside a closed system. If you’re seeing an overflow, it could be due to a radiator cap, thermostat, water pump, or radiator malfunction.

Can you put water in coolant reservoir?

You can put water into your car radiator if your engine is overheating, the coolant overflow reservoir is very low or empty, and you have no other option.

Can you add water wetter to Dexcool?

Water Wetter is primarily intended for those that race as the largest benefit is when it is run with 100% water. They even state on the bottle that mixing with coolant will reduce the effectiveness tremendously. From what I’ve been able to find, it seems it will be fine with Dexcool.

Is water wetter better than coolant?

since water boils at temps lower than your engine could run, thats why you use coolant, to raise the boiling point. Anti-freeze/coolant has absolutely no advantage or benefit over water wetter, other than it prevents freezing.

What can you add to water to make it wetter?

In situations where water is scarce or it is impractical to wet surfaces daily an additive can be used to achieve, longer lasting results. A surfactant, or surface active agent, makes water more efficient by making water wetter.

Does water wetter raise boiling point?

BOILING POINT ELEVATION Red Line WaterWetter® does not significantly increase the boiling point of water; however, increas- ing pressure will raise the boiling point. The boiling point of water treated with Red Line using a 15 psi cap is 250°F compared to 265°F at 15 psi for 50% glycol.

What is waterwetter® coolant and what are its benefits?

According to Redline, WaterWetter®’s greatest benefits accrue to those cars running straight water in their cooling system– which doesn’t include anyone living in snow country. Translation: WaterWetter® offers all the normal protection benefits of regular coolant to people who don’t use regular coolant.

What is water wetter used for in cars?

Water Wetter is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems which reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 30 degrees Fahrenheit. This liquid product can be used to provide rust and corrosion protection in plain water for racing engines, which provides much better heat transfer properties than glycol-based antifreeze.

What kind of oil do you put in a water wetter?

Red Line Oil 80204 Water Wetter Cooling System Treatment 12 OZ. Water Wetter is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems which reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is waterwetter® and how does it work?

In addition, for cars running straight water, WaterWetter® provides some additional protection. This includes traditional coolant roles of reducing corrosion and lubrication of water pump seals. For cars caned on the track or driven in the summer only, a water-only engine and cooling system solution will lead to problems.
