I remember this coolant from 20 years ago. And the problem is cost, plus when you have a leak what do you top it off with? It's been years ago, actually before the internet, but someone wrote an article about this stuff. I'm reaching into long term memory but the article did state that the product performed as claimed but they ran into a unexpected issue - with no pressure in the system, one test vehicle's lower radiator camped closed at higher RPMs. Also, when they applied what they considered to be maintenance to cooling system due to breakage (failed water pump) etc, the coolant had not recovered its cost yet. Also, if it's all so great then why was it recently reformulated? Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.stir-plate.com www.towercooler.com www.kegkits.com www.grow-sun.com
