Gentlemen,
I've used WaterWetter (Available at Pep Boys) in my MG Midget with good
results. I was doing a swap of fluids this year and pep boys was out so I
stopped at a NAPA dealer. He had a product (I think it was called SILCO)
that was supposed to be compatible with all antifreeze and it was 1/2 the
price of Water Wetter, its in the MG now and seems to keep the temperatures
in check. Water Wetter $7. SILCO $4 worth the investment if you're
running in the heat we've been having.
