Re: Coolant Anti Corrsion Inhibitors
Keeping it fresh, found some stuff at NAPA and had used it before called NapaKool.
Appears to have a 2 percent Hydrochloric Acid in Solution with Nitrates and Nitrites. So who can speak to block corrosion and prevention using these products. |

Re: Coolant Anti Corrsion Inhibitors
I use the NAPA stuff on the fleet vehicles I maintain. I also use their coolant test strips to test, once a year.
Not sure what those others do, or what they are. The NAPA product is made for the common coolants that have been around for a long time. |

Re: Coolant Anti Corrsion Inhibitors
I've used the water-wetter before several times.
I can't say if it made a difference or not. If I recall corectly, it is like $18 a bottle at my o'reillies or autozone. |

Re: Coolant Anti Corrsion Inhibitors
some contents increase thermal transmission, other resist rust, others remove rust and scales.
flush it, remove scales and rust, add a proper mix with a water wetting agent. In the pontiac community I hear water wetter is good, After flushing a system I have used CLR or Drano to remove any grease, stop leak, rust or what ever from the system. Drano will damage water pump seals and aluminum. then a 50/50 mix Drano will find any leaks. Dont blame it if your cooling system was about to take a &4#@) any way. Flush it out thoroughly or it will keep on working. |
