Default Re: Water Coolant Additives

I have used Red Line water wetter for years and have no radiator (stock one for stock eliminator) problems. I had to use Royal Purple once, the car ran hotter than any time I ran Red Line.

If you ask the tech officials, they will likely tell you to run straight water, as this other stuff is harder to clean up off the track if you leak some. That is what they told me.

I just got emails from both Div 4 NHRA and IHRA regarding Redline Water Wetter stating It's approved in the cooling system.

Sounds like a chemical called Photo Flow that I used when I did film photography. Breaks the surface tension and makes the rinse water sheet off the film for spot free drying. I can see that being good in a radiator. It was always all over the lab floor and I don't recall it being a clean up issue.
