Anyone running it? I switched over to it ( from water / glycol mix ) in my 33 a few days ago and I now have an engine operating temp about 15 degrees higher than before???

Ya, I read that in their Q&A section on their site. They really should change it to "will run warmer". Yes, at $45 a gallon it aint cheap. Yes, according to them you can cut it with water or water / glycol mix. Of course this will lower the boiling point, but how high do you need it? surely not 345*, which is what they are advertising for straight Evans coolant. I never had a boiling issue to start with ( or hot soak problem ) using my water / glycol mix. Higher operating temps can lead to other issues (detonation for one)that I don't need. I will probably go back to my old mix with a water wetter additive. Seemed to work best. On another note, I am now running a separate trans cooler ( out from the lower rad tank). Although this change had to help, it's too small to measure any change on my temp gauge.

I never saw the attraction. They flog this stuff for big trucks because the hotter you run a diesel theoretically the more efficient it is so they claim better fuel mileage and the sheep flock to the door. Kevin Lots of that going around.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
