#1 Water Wetter

With the temperature hitting 25 centigrade here today it got me wondering if anyone else is using Water Wetter in their cooling systems? The E-Type is marginal in its abilities to dissipate heat especially when moving slowly or stuck in traffic so any help is appreciated. I have found Water Wetter to be a remarkable product which, despite sounding like snake oil, does indeed work. I reckon it is worth about 10 degrees centigrade after adding it and I rarely see the temperature gauge go above 70, more usually it sits at about 68, almost too cool for an XKE engine.

Good demo of how it works here: http://www.redlineoil.com/products_cool ... antFlash=1

I have told a lot of people about Water Wetter but they all think I am crazy!

Water Wetter is good stuff. It won't compensate for deficiencies such as a plugged radiator or other problems, but it will allow your coolant to work more efficiently. I've driven in southern Calfornia traffic on days that were 35C+ and had no problems. I never saw a 10C drop, but the car did run noticably cooler. The Healey guys I know swear by it.
