Info from their website at http://www.redlineoil.com/frames/watrwet.htm

"WaterWetter® Supercoolant is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems
which reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 30°F. This liquid product
can be used to provide rust and corrosion protection in plain water for
racing engines, which provides much better heat transfer properties than
glycol-based antifreeze. Or it can be added to new or used antifreeze to
improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems. Designed
for modern aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass, and bronze systems."

This stuff was discussed at length last summer on the list and most of the
data was positive. The only effect that I have seen is how it affected the
operating characteristics of my temp gauge. It's common for my temp gauge to
go a full needle's width above the led when sitting in traffic, even during
the winter (Florida winter that is), and it used to stay right on the led
before I installed the WaterWetter. My fan still operates the same way and
the needle goes back to sitting on top of the led as soon as I get moving
again.
