[neoacid]

Alright... I called a gm parts supplier and asked them about the antifreeze. They said the type that they put in the escalades is the red Dex-cool. I should be able to get that really easily. Second, found some good steam distilled water (RO, submicron filtration, UV, etc.).

I haven't been able to find a sanitzer of the type that airspirit mentioned yet. I was wondering....Airspirit recommended using a lysol + pinesol solution to clean the system of buildup and organic growth. Would it be okay to add this instead of the sanitizer to the coolant mixture i use? Or would it damage and corrode the pieces inside my system in the long term? or react in some bad way with the other chemicals? or does it loose its biocide properties?

The other thing I am curious to know is if anybody has created the same coolant mixture as airspirit except using water wetter in place of hyperlube? Do you still get the white buildup and how long have you been running that mixture? Is the general consensus that the white buildup is an organic or inorganic (chemical) deposit?

Also, has anybody been able to confirm whether water wetter actually looses its potency as a corrosion inhibitor from being absorbed into the tubes or by reacting with the metals of the system? Seems i remember someone saying the water wetter reacted with the metals to form a protective coatiing from corrosion, which also caused their solution to go clear as it was used up in this reaction. Is this how water wetter works? It seems to me that this would be bad because that protective coating would also be a thermal barrier for heat dissipation. can someone clear this up for me? thanks.
