I run straight water in the cooling system of the TR4, as I understand
is requried by the various sanctioning bodies.

I'd like to run some additive in the water to protect against the rusty
crud buildup, a condition probably exacerbated by the galvanic action of
an aluminum radiator and an iron block. (Galvanic action was named after
Luigi Galvani, a late 1700's Italian scientist, by the way...but of
course you knew that).

What's the best stuff for corrosion resistance that still accomplishes
the non-slippery objectives of our dear sanctioning bodies? (now there's
a leading question...)
