Evan's waterless coolant
Discussion
All very interesting, but to be honest and IMPO the best approach is to use the correct and quality mixture of coolant, correctly topped up and changed with a good quality flushing agent every year. A system that is properly bled with correct pressure caps that work and sealed blanking caps along with good quality hoses and pipe work. This will look after your engine and radiator.

that aside, I'm not a fan of the evans stuff myself.I think this thread should be banned as it's a blatent advert.
But in the mean time, I get my free distilled water from either the condensing tumble dryer, or my dehumidifier, which will make a couple of litres in a day if left running in the cellar.
The reason not to use tap water is that the chlorine in it will eat away (slowly) at the metal bits.

Hi all im not sure some of you have read the original post properly this is not an advert it is pointing out the down side to this supposed super coolant. I have spoken to mr refurb about this and he has raised these points due to an influx horror stories from people he knows that have used this product and one has lost a couple of very expensive race cars due to small coolant leaks and the fact that Evans coolant is pretty flammable.

we do not sell evan's waterless cooling or have any financial gain from this !
THIS IS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT WE HAVE FOUND !
i know of someone who has put this in a race car and has many fire's
thank you rob
I have been running it in my 3000m for about 400 miles now, the temperature runs about 5 degrees lower and the temp rises slower and cools faster after a short blast and sits steady in traffic with only small rises. I had engine and radiator refurbished with new water pump, it runs original fan set up on front of the v6 but an improved double core radiator with no spare wheel fitted so the airflow to the rad is better, no troubles so far, fingers crossed!

I collect the water from a dehumidifier and it's better than tap water but I'm not sure it's distilled.DAKOTAstorm said:

Did you do this work and run water for a while before converting?adam quantrill said:

No it was done by experienced TVR garage. Parts that were previously in contact with water coolant were replaced where possible and it was ran with the prep fluid. Since the rebuild its ran nothing but Evans. Hi
I am testing Evans fluid in two cars at present and find it strange when you have the car up to working temp (Fans cut in) you can remove the filler cap without any problems.
In the case of the 350SE we have replaced all the hoses and fitted a new stainless swan neck and lower pipes. Then we ran prep fluild in the engine to remove any water and other items left in the coolant system.
My 280i FHC was treated differently, the rad was refurbished and the various corroded fittings on the engine replaced as was the water pump etc. The heads were removed for harden valve seats to be fitted, so there was not to much water left in the system.
I am very happy with it so far and if it proves to be a good as the advertised hype I will fit it in the other cars as and when they have work done on there coolant systems!
Yes its expensive to do but to me its worth it for the benfits of no longer haveing to worrying about burst pipes and other things which go wroung with pressurised coolant system's. Plus there is very little routine maintance to do. Which is a great benfit for my collection!

Since the rebuild its ran nothing but Evans. this is just another in a long line of bogus fake news articles of anti-evans and I reported it to the moderators it is fake news and every bit can be and has been refuted by Evans ! you should be ashamed for posting it ! over a million users use Evans
Sorry that piston heads article is bogus , should be deleted .
Anti evans posts often cite it .
EG flammability ? ANY anti freeze can theoretically burn under ideal conditions , but Evans is no more likely to Burn than regular antifreeze . In fact as it does NOT pressurize a cooling system. ( unlike water) So ,it is LESS likely to spew out or leak! Hence LESS likely to burn !
it is relatively easy to remove the water and you do not need to take apart the motor or struggle getting it out as claimed ! They are exaggerating to the point of blatantly lying !
We discussed it with Evans after we read it. the piston head article, It is grossly inaccurate. And every point in there can be refuted completely and comprehensively. it is not credible.it is fake news .
Evans is used by over 1.5 million users so they experienced no reported ill effects and you can be sure that IF there was an issue Evans would have been sued long ago by our litigious society And eager attorneys.
