RE: [Chevelle-List] Another fan/water pump question
I have used Redline's Water Wetter in my off road vehicles for years and it has worked great. Drops the temp 5 to 10 degrees. It has a kind of soapy texture and is supposed to make the water slide over the metal parts easier. At least that is what the sales literature says. In any event it has worked great for me. And, Redline makes a lot of great products so I trust them. Gene > Brian, > > Have you tried Redline's Water Wetter?
