John,



That's one of the few additives I believe in because it actually works. The
product breaks down the surface tension of the water, allowing better
contact with your cylinder walls and radiator galleries. This increases heat
transfer efficiency, not by much, but enough to measure.



Water Wetter will not solve a cooling issue but it will make a few degrees
difference pulling hills.

  I like to add just a bit of Redline Water Wetter to the coolant mix.
