Anyone use Evans non water coolant?

Guys, Has anyone ever used Evans non water coolant? Claims to be efficient up to 180 degrees and eliminates overheating. If thats the case, surely it would hide a multitude of sins! Interested to know if anyone has had problems from using it.

Hiding being the operative word. If you do have overheating issues i would get to the bottom of the problem.

Agree with you, just wondering whether anyone has suffered any negatives from it. Seems a bit too good to be true. If its that good, surely everyone would be using it!

You are right in saying if its that good everyone would be using it but i don't see it commonly used or discussed.

I personally know nothing about the product but i cant see how it would 'solve' overheating problems. It may mask issues but this can only lead to catastrophic engine failure in time if something is not right with the cooling system. Owning a V8 means i'm all over the cooling system checking for potential issues which is good practice for any owner. First thing i did when i got mine was change the rad, waterpump, coolant just as a precautionary.

Just done a quick search & it appears it runs at a higher operating temp! Not much good for the marginal operating temp parameters on a Rover V8

It's been covered before, waste of money on a par with quack medicines.

Not sure about this one. Question is why the manufacturers dont use it, maybe its cost cutting like some of the crappy parts fitted (BMW DISA Vv springs to mind, mild steel brake and steering pipes). Does any one know what the likes of Mclaren and Ferrari uses, don't know if its true but does the racing cars not use waterless coolant, anyway I dont think that its snake oil like those fuel saving rip offs that make the rounds. Anything that cuts down on erosion and corrosion must be a good thing but would have to be proved for me. But as said its no substitute for maintenance, nice looking motor martynv8

It is like all things. good for what it was intended for.
that isnt hiding problems.

Water wetter and similar products are well thought of and work by ensuring a good heat transfer between the block and the cooling medium by reducing bubbling and water vapour barrier that may form on hot metal surfaces.

It is an expensive option that is of little benefit to the average road user.

Would think if its gona overheat it still will
just because if the fluid gets to 180° before it boils your engine is still cooked

Ive used it in a Caterham, where after a hard drive, the coolant would get by the radiator cap, and spit out a bit, not a lot, but enough to bother me, with the waterless coolant, there is no pressure build up and therefore no loss of coolant.

It's used very frequently in the motorcycle club racing circuit so the bikes can be run without a fan and big battery (to save weight) without the coolant boiling.
