What is amazing is none of the comments against this have even touched on the subject of coolant boiling/steaming. If you are running a water based coolant you already are experiencing it due to your cooling system being pressurized. What was stated in the video is correct. Once you hit that cliff and your coolant starts to boil (you dont know it because usually the temperature appears to go down) your screwed unless you can get it cooled off. I'm going to install this in my vehicles.

Totally agree. But as far as I know ..its not the purpose of Evans. My temp gauge needle is the same place as it was when I ran 50/50. If the needle gets up to "red" you should always stop...no matter what kind of coolant your running. From what I've experienced so far (a year) Evans is awesome.

I have read that Evans coolant consists of 100% glycol....some have argued that the product might allow you to run the engine at a high enough temperature to damage it. I think I will stick with a 50/50 ratio at most. The boiling temperature at that ratio gives a fair amount of protection without boiling.

no such thing, you can buy 100$ gyco, but all coolants even when they say concentrate ,they are not impossible why its illegal to say 100% this or that unless it is,. like distilled water its only distilled water 100%, but all coolants not matter what they are will require water even if its distilled water ,like you said mix 50/50 with distilled water. also if you stick to the Oe spec stuff and inhibitors you will not have any problems, as soon as you deviate form that, that's when you have problems and 1900 build cars had copper and brass radiators and the seals for the pumps etc and other components for the cooling are not as good as the current modern cars and the cooling systems require glycol to remove the heat hot spots around the engine and also prevent overheating as well, based on the % of glyco with in the mix, its that simple?

I purchased a liquid cooled racing airplane that ran Evans and I had replaced the Evans with traditional coolant. It was a huge mistake and I switched it back the next season. For those that keep saying you will run hotter,' it's only a couple degrees and does not hurt anything. You're better off keeping an eye on oil temperature than obsessing over this coolant. Put it in and forget about coolant issues.

does not transfer heat as efficiently as water based coolant so you must upgrade the cooling system capacity to make up for this, high flow water pump, larger radiator to make up for this. great idea for a engine that is most;y never used but if your cooling system is already struggling to keep your temperature under control you could be in trouble. to me this would also benefit a iron block with aluminum head but what you never see is a suggestion to add a sacrificial anode for 5 bucks.

EXACTLY right Jason Cook ... Evans is prime BS ... www.engineeringtoolbox.com/ethylene-glycol-d_146.html If coolant is boiling away that means you have a problem with your cooling system. So why is Jay shilling for this ... He said only uses it for collector cars for anti corrosion properties ... so he doesn't have to change the coolant. Jay he doesn't use it in his performance cars so how did he end up recommending it for that purpose, one that it is completely inappropriate for?

Water Wetter is an additive, a surfactant. Evans is a complete coolant and doesn't need a surfactant to release the surface tension. The contaminants in your radiator are due to water caused corrosion, electrolysis, cavitation erosion, and additive fallout. None of those issues apply to waterless coolant.

it's not gonna change how the temp is read in the car. the liquid doesn't evaporate at the same temperature as water. when a liquid becomes a gas, it loses over 90% of it's cooling function, therefore driving the temperature up quick as opposed to this which still transfers heat at liquid rates to temperatures far in excess of water.

Evens is 80m - 85% ethyline glycol. you might as well save money and use 100% antifreeze, Buy Evens is not good at transferring heat, water is far better, but we use 50/50 mix as a compromise because the antifreeze we use has corrosion inhibitors. this stuff is snake oil, if it was so good, why are manufacturers not putting it in new cars, the answer is 50/50 mix is better at wicking heat away from your engine and dissapating it through the radiator

The cooling system of any vaguely modern vehicle (under about 60 years old) is designed to work under pressure. The specific heat capacity of this stuff is very low in comparison with water or water/antifreeze mix, it is also more viscous. The Duesenberg probably ran most of it's life without antifreeze with the associated corrosion inhibitors....

$40.00 per gallon is outrageous in my humble opinion. I would prefer to change a less expensive coolant more often and flush the system, or have a filter like my 7.3 diesel has. The diesel takes almost 8 gallons of coolant, that would be $240.00. Something like your Kawi, I might give it a try because it does not take a lot of coolant. It appears to be similar to the product to water wetter, which works just fine. I am an engineer and JL is a stand up comic, take that for what it is worth!

Interesting product. I'm of the belief that overheating is the leading root cause of old cars turning into "lemons" and being junked. The cooling system is one of the least reliable systems in a car as it ages. Eventually something goes wrong and it tries to kill the car, and most owners don't take it seriously enough. Having a coolant that doesn't boil would be a damn good safety buffer. Hot coolant wouldn't bother the engine, it's when it boils away that temperatures become destructive.

Because like he says, steam doesn't cool engines. Instead it pools in the upper parts of the engine, preventing coolant from reaching them and creates steam bubbles that can disrupt normal coolant flow to different parts of the engine. Plus boiling means that the gas that gets vented is permanently lost. You want the coolant to stay in the engine.

Since the '60's, I've used 100% antifreeze in all of my custom cars/race cars I've built. I got tired of the rust in the coolant, (Customs and race cars tend to have their engines removed more often). Running straight coolant made it easier to re-use, as well. I got a lot of grief from other mechanics, etc, so I ended up contacting Prestone and one of the other manufacturers of coolant. I pushed and pushed them on the subject of 100% v 50/50. I got them to admit 100% was no more effective for cooling, or freeze protection, than 50/50, when they finally understood that wasn't why I was doing it. They also admitted, it was no worse using 100% v 50/50. They weren't that concerned about lubricants wearing out since we agreed the cars typically got tore apart often, fresh coolant was added. It's not for an everyday car, but when you don't want rust stains on a painted frame, etc from draining coolant and changing an engine, it works just fine.

Get as much of the water-coolant out of the engine, and then add the EVANS waterless coolant. Drive the car a few miles to circulate the collant throughout the engine. Then drain everything, put all of the fluid into a few large pans, and put it into your oven, and raise the temperature up to around 220°F, a bit above the boiling point of water (212 °F) . When the water has finished boiling out of that water, put the remaining Evans coolant back into the car, run the car for a while, then drain it and boil off all of the water again. Do this 4 or 5 times and you've pretty much removed all of the water from the cooling system.

Typically, overheating with antifreeze starts at at 220-230F. The engine damage happens when the water vapor in the cooling jacket pushes liquid coolant away from the metal and the metal temp in that spot shoots up by hundreds of degrees. Evans stays in contact with the metal and so controls the metal temps. Damage is avoided, even at higher coolant temps, because the liquid stays in contact with the metal surfaces. It is glycol based, so check the rules. If propylene glycol is legal, use NPG.

They are probably most beneficial for cars where the water passes over dissimilar metals, such as a cast iron block and an aluminium radiator. With newer aluminium engine blocks the advantage is less pronounced, but still there, because the alloys themselves contain different metals and because of that, corrosion is an inherent problem. I wonder though, if the cooling system does leak, is it environmentally safe?

untill having some cooling issues on my normally reliable volvos, i had never really understood what coolant was for. yes i knew you wanted water to cool, and coolant concentrate to stop freezing and corrosion. never understood the boiling point of coolant. I didnt know that coolant added to the water for the 50:50 is to raise the boiling point, so is the system having a pressure cap to allow the system to pressurise which give a higher boiling point. the real downside of normal coolant is that it boils? once either water or 50:50 mix starts to boil on metal contact, i stops absorbing heat and boils off. waterless coolant will pretty much always stay as liquid now matter how hot the engine goes, and provide as much cooling as it can. normal coolant would boil\expand and blow your cooling system to bit (actually the cap should vent hot water\50:50)

What about the freezing point though. It has a high boiling point but, will it freeze?

My 2003 Mercedes SL55 AMG owner's manual says that the Mercedes coolant for my vehicle needs to be changed out once every 150,000 miles or 15 years. Sounds like Mercedes coolant is just as good if you ask me.

Newer BMW cars have a lot of cooling system problems related to the high pressures they hold, people are using this stuff and modifying their cooling systems to reduced or not pressurized at all, and having good results. I don't plan on keeping My 530 for much longer,so I won't bother,I'd rather put the money into fixing the trans cooler line seepage..

I live in Alaska. Shipping is expensive. There is no free shipping to AK even if they say free shipping to US residents. I would get it if I could go to the auto parts store and buy it. Why is is not in stores? We do have Walmart.

+Matt Antil Indeed, because since it has no water, there are no steam bubbles due to friction and local low pressure on the edges of pump vanes. The question is how thick the formulation is. Generally it loses thickness as the temperature increases. Also because there are no steam induced bubbles, heat transmission is better. In water added coolant you exchange heat (energy) with pressure. If the system is pressurised, temperature rises as well as in Evans cooling but, when the pressure is released through a gasket failure or crack, all heat is rapidly released and boiling takes place at lower temperature ruining your engine fast because heat energy is released through steam which is more powerful energy-wise than boiling water. Any person that has cooked knows very well that steam is worse than boiling water.

1. The highest mileage car in the world has covered 2.5 million miles on glycol coolant on the same block/head. I'm preeetty sure corrosion of the cylinder head isn't an issue. 2. This wouldn't be 'for the lifetime of the car' because hoses/radiators/headgaskets/seals perish and need replacing someday. 3. The biggie - if this stuff was so good, why has no manufacturer in the world taken it on and used it for their new models? They make virtually no money on supplying spare hoses and rads...
