A new coolant type? Help please.

[Swedish Mike]

Guys, I read about a new coolant for race engines, no water only this fluid.It was pressure free and you could drive with a open system actually.A little bit like water wetter but much better and you needed to replace all coolant with this.

Do you know what I mean? Brand? Ever used it in your CA´s?

I can´t remember, saw it in a US magazine.

It gave no pressure in the system, headgasket and hoses would last longer and it could handle massive heat before boiling.

He's talking about Evans NPG. It's not "new" by any means, but you need to completely remove any trace of water/coolant in your system. So the only time this should really be used is if your motor is out and you had your motor cleaned out. Same with your radiator.

Ah, cool. Ever used it? I thought it was new, looked like it in the advert.

It's been around since the late 90's. Their NPG+ might be relatively new, but the NPG and NPG-R have been around a while. And no, I've never used it. Too much of a pain.

Thanks, I´ll read more and pick one, want to test it.

sounds perfect for a rebuilt engine, didnt really see anything about it affecting climate controls (for street cars obviously) if it works as well as it says, maybe it will cause problems with heaters in winter?

I don´t think it will give you problems, just better when it comes to handle heat.Local boiling is very dangerous for both gasket and cylinder walls and this will help according to them.Also nice to get rid of the pressure in hoses and caps.
