Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / Re: 4 life coolant

I looked at the Evans water less coolant and decided it was not worth it.
Most of these products claim to cure what are in my opinion underlying issues ( such as overheating).
I recall you have a triumph engine now so is that all steel- they advise against grease/ gland water pump use and in unpressurised systems? Is there an issue you want to solve by using this product?
AC alloy engine users would have to check it provides suitable alloy protection. I like it’s ph sensor in fluid to detect head gasket failure.
It’s expensive relative to regular A/F but can likely be drained and reused if a problem occurs. Higher boiling point of 180 degrees could be useful but they don’t give enough technical info to compare with a regular antifreeze mix or state at what pressure this boiling point is at ( 5psi ,10psi).
I appreciate you sharing this and the vinyl paint in other thread as it’s good to be aware of new products( did Toyota /shell not do a 4 life af?)
