Water wetter: ideal concentration?

ablaze · 04-03-2002, 02:42 PM

gonna be using a system with a copper block and my rad's all aluminium. so this should be critical.

whats the ideal concentration of Redline water-wetter? issit 1:64? or 1:32? (please don't mention ounces and gallons ok..where I come from, its millilitres and litres

)

k. perfect. just found this

alright. so 1X ideal concentration ie. 1:32 seems to work best.

now my question is: is waterwetter + distilled water enough to prevent corrosion (at least reduce it) or should I bump in antifreeze/glycols etc etc..I'm kinda worried cos yeah as in my first post..block copper..rad --> pure aluminium! :shrug:

it should be fine...the WW should form a 'protective layer' over the aluminum rad, preventing corrosion...
