[F500] Anti-Freeze or NOT?

[Richard W Schmidt]

Bryan,

I run anti-freeze in my 440. I also use Water Wetter, have from day one. I
can't prove that it makes a difference, but I'm sure it does. Red Line has
lots of test data to back it up.

Having always used Water Wetter, I don't know what my temps would be without
it, but I never have had an overheating problem, or even a getting warm
problem. (as long a you keep water in the system) A stuck thermostat or
broken water pump drive will make you look like a Stanley steamer. Got the
orange ball one day at Brained, pulled into pit one, and when I came to a
stop, I disappeared into a cloud of steam. Workers came running with fire
extinguisher. Thought I was on fire, but just water spraying on the exhaust
pipes.
