Re: SVX Engine cooling "Again & Again"

This has been touched on before, but has anyone tried the Evans waterless coolant?

It's supposed to be superior to glycol/water against cavitation - see here:

http://www.evanscoolants.co.uk/techn...-no-erosion/47

I know cavitation in large diesel engine cooling systems cause cylinder liner erosion problems - I've seen it many times.

Here's a test result from SwRI (used to work there a long time ago )

http://www.evanscooling.com/assets/U...n-Results2.pdf

The liner erosion caused by cavitation was significantly reduced compared to the reference coolant.

I know the heat transfer is somewhat less than standard coolants, but if that is not the limiting factor.... someone who actually has this problem might want to try, eh ?
