I am also on a Corvette high-performance list, such as this. The question on that list was "should I use an electric water pump on my street car?" Well we have beat that subject around on RACE cars s

I was going to answer Ed with that, but you beat me to it. I used to work on large diesels and was told at one time that a Cummins had 40 lbs of pressure under the thermostat from the water pump. Go

There are two things going on-- coolant flow rate and block coolant pressure. They are inter-related in that as the flow rate through the system increases, the back pressure in the block increases a

Until pumping losses begin heating the water, the faster the water goes through a heat exchanger, the greater the BTU transfer. The higher the difference in temperature between the water and what is

Hey Ed, I wonder where they got their degrees from, this is opposite what I was taught years ago at a factory course. We were taught that when the restriction was removed from the cooling system, the

Someone on the list recently suggested measuring the coolant pressure inside the block between the mechanical water pump and the outlet thermostat/restrictor. Sounds like a good idea--if the pressure

I would think it would be beneficial to also run some anti-freeze or an additive to eliminate the surface tension of water for better heat transfer. Ron Gibson, Omaha NE - There are two things going

A Silicone wetting agent (Dow) also reduces entrained air and reduces pumping losses in large chilled water air conditioning systems. Bryan

Regular antifreeze is Ethylene glycol. Can be a little slippery so a lot of circle track guys aren't supposed to use it to reduce spinouts on the track. The Evans stuff I believe is Propylene glycol.

I looked through the article again. The product is non-aquous propylene glycol. No water is used. The claim is virtually non-toxic. They do have 2 products one that contains some ethylene glycol. PHR
