Does coolant wetter work?

Red Line’s Water Wetter proved to be the best all around cooling agent when mixed with a 30/70 antifreeze/water mix. We saw readings as low as 197 F at the cylinder head and the most efficient heat transfer through the radiator at just over eight percent.

Does water wetter really work?

Water Wetter does work. I ‘ve used it in a number of older cars, including several Jaguar XKE’s I’ve owned, and it definitely reduces operating temperature. Water Wetter works by reducing the surface tension of the water/coolant mixture. Some basics — water is the most efficient coolant you can use in your engine.

Can you use water wetter in coolant?

Water Wetter is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems which reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Or it can be added to new or used antifreeze to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems.

Is water wetter better than antifreeze?

Anti-freeze/coolant has absolutely no advantage or benefit over water wetter, other than it prevents freezing. The reason it raises the boiling point is to prevent vapor pockets and maintain good surface contact to the metal.

How much water wetter should I use?

One 12 ounce bottle treats 12-16 quarts of water or a 50% ethylene or propylene glycol solution. In smaller cooling systems, use 4-5 caps per quart.

Is water wetter biodegradable?

How do you use wet water?

One 12 ounce bottle treats 12-16 quarts of water or a 50% ethylene or propylene glycol solution. In smaller cooling systems, use 4-5 caps per quart. Add directly through the cooling system fill cap into the radiator or into the overflow tank. Do not open a cooling system while hot.

What kind of coolant does BMW use?

BMW engine coolant (antifreeze) will keep your cooling system working at its best. This 1 liter bottle is great for small top-offs from lost coolant. Coolant is mixed with distilled water for the best protection against boiling, freezing, corrosion, and lubrication.

What is waterwetter® coolant?

Translation: WaterWetter® offers all the normal protection benefits of regular coolant to people who don’t use regular coolant. Oh, at a lower temperature. Well, theoretically…

Does Redline waterwetter® really reduce car coolant temperature?

Since 1979, the Benicia, California company has been selling coolants, fuel additives and lubricants to the automotive, motorcycle, marine and industrial markets. As part of their range, Redline offer a product called WaterWetter®. They claim their potion can reduce car coolant temperatures by as much as 30ºF. That’s hot! I mean, not.

Are BMW water pumps reliable?

Overall, BMW water pumps have been quite reliable with a few infamous exceptions: This mechanical pump used plastic for its spinning impeller for the first time. The plastic blades would break apart, leaving nothing to scoop up the coolant. The failure happened without warning and left quite a few people stranded.
