Many years ago i worked as a radiator repairer and witnessed a lot of radiators blocked up with all sorts of mud and gunk from people using tap water in their cars cooling system. This was in Adelaide - worst water in the country!
A chap in the office had bought a new XY Fairmont about 5 years previously, and had always used rainwater and soluble oil in the cooling system. He was about to go on a country trip and so we pulled the radiator out of the car to clean it out for him. We were amazed to see that the radiator was still like new inside, and had zero blockage! That was before aluminium heads were popular. The popular coolant back then was BP coolant. It was very thin bodied and would find its way out of any weak spot in the system. Since then there have been many brands of coolant released onto the market, mostly based on glycol. Does anybody have any favorite brands that they use? And if so - why? Is the rainwater/ soluble oil still the best combination? Rocket. |
