Not Ranked
I started with Water Wetter in karting and noticed a big difference there where motors are stressed to the guilds. Then a few friends tried it with off-road Motorcycles and it worked well there on hot summer days. I used it exclusively in my previous Hot Rods and both of my Cobras. It works to take the edge off a bit, sometimes a reduction of about 10 degrees in my cars.
My general practice, including WW is..
- Distilled Water (i.e. help against corrosion)
- Water Wetter (1-2 bottles)
- Absolutely no antifreeze (none, no more!)
- Flush it out every six months and replace it, just because
- Frequently chainging my oil way before it gets dark in color
On several occassions where I did not use it in the past, I notice it does take a bit longer for the temperature to climb, which can help in just getting out of unexpected traffic situations. However, Water Wetter does not fix motors overheating for other reasons or in situations where no fans or poor fans and poor fan shrouding is used.
I've concluded that really good fans and Water Wetter are essential for me. Works.
