Oldest system (2 years):
1QT Tupperware res with a non-airtight lid and gooped brass barbed fittings.
Cheap vinyl tubing.
Epoxied brass barbed fittings on std. chevette heatercore.
No-name pump that is supposed to be the same as a Danner Mag3 (local sales droid said it was an oem model).
Homemade aluminum WB made like XJinn's cross drilled block
Coolant is about 40% ethylene glycol antifreeze (prestone I think) and cheap distilled water
Second oldest system (18months)
1QT tupperware style res (same as above)
tygon tubing
MCP650/D4 pump
Chevette heatercore again
TDX WB
Dangerden additive available 18months ago (forget what they were stocking back then)
This one, I haven't checked as much, although temps still seem fine and tubing seems OK as well.
I don't open up my systems much, since I just like to use them. I don't have as much time to fiddle with this hobby as I did 2+ years ago.
