Evans Waterless Coolant

[Rick B.]

Hello all,

I am wanting to get some advice from members who have 1st hand experience using Evans Waterless Engine Coolant. My engine is an all aluminum 427 Windsor.

I have watched multiple YouTube videos about the benefits of Evans Waterless Coolant (no engine corrosion, no electrolysis, 375 degree boiling point, lifetime coolant, etc.), and I've seen that it's used by Jay Leno's Garage, The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, LeMay - America's Car Museum, Wellborn Musclecar Museum, American Muscle Car Museum, and others.

I have also seen videos from people saying their engines ran hotter, and it leaked.

I would like to use it, but would like to get some feedback hopefully from some other members who've actually tried it themselves.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Rick

If I remember correctly, it has lower specific heat than plain water.
We used a mixture of sodium dichromate and water in our M8C McLaren back in Can- Am. It had a 472 cubic aluminum block. I wouldn't recommend it in a street engine, though.

Why would you like to use it, do you have a specific overheating problem? Evans has a bad reputation with aluminum as it deposits out, plus it's flammable!

If you don't need freeze protection water & water wetter or 'no rosion' have the highest specific heat capacity.

Julian,
I was wanting to use it because of water's corrosive properties, however I was unaware of the products of No Rosion and HyperKuhl until you mentioned it. I have since read their website and it sounds like exactly what I'm looking for.

Thank you for posting about it!

I used it on my race car ( turbo ecoboost ) ONCE....
Never again...
Yes it worked, but if you ever have to do a drain down, ( and we all know it splashes everywhere )
it leaves a very sticky residue eveywhere that attracts dirt and dust like a magnet...
even after washing down with water it still seems to lay in cracks and crevices .

Thanks for the info Jerry

I read and heard that some tracks will not allow it for track days as it is a problem should it leak on the circuit.

So if you plan on tracking your car check if it is allowed

Thanks Ian. I have changed my mind about using it.
