Running just Redline Water Wetter and H20 summer - Bob Is The Oil Guy

Redline Water Wetter was designed for use in pure water cooling systems, as required by racing applications. Coolant, when spilled onto a track, causes a slippery condition.....not good for drive fast turn left applications. If you read the chart on the bottle, it shows a major increase in temperature transfer between the water and metal in the water only application. The same chart shows a slight improvement when used with coolant. Unless you are running beyond the capacity of your cooling system (design or some problem that has developed), you will not see your motor running cooler with/without this product as the thermostat will regulate the coolant temperature. Actual head temperature might differ, but that would take some advanced measuring that is not built into passenger vehicles (temperature monitoring is of coolant temperature). I recall reading the Redline indicated that the stuff you see separate out of the Redline Water Wetter in systems with coolant is not harmful to the system....and will re-mix when the coolant gets hot. What we tend to see is this stuff that separates out.....building up in the overflow bottle.....and it does look nasty. At the same time I read this (someplace on THIS website) the recommendation to avoid this separation was to use the Water Wetter that is for Diesel engines.....as it is designed to be used in coolant, not pure water. The Diesel Water Wetter was purple in color.......and harder to locate. However, my advice would be to contact Redline through their website and see what they have to say. They seem to be very responsive to questions and they would be a better source of information than I am.
