Subject:      Water Wetter: Again

I saw this post in the SAAB group. It is copied verbatim - I can't verify its correctness. The author writes:

=================================

Water wetter....... I do love seeing strange topics such as these. What is water wetter? If it's what a definition of what I heard once, it's something (a substance or solution) which reduces the surface tension of water molecules (the Van Der Waals force). Simple water wetter is dishwater detergent. Those good old anionic surfactants. About three tablespoons of concentrated dishwash liquid or similar (I use Amway LOC (no plug by the way)) and the car runs cooler, there's no suds and it keeps the waterways clean and defurred. It doesn't interfere with the antifreeze`performance as -28C here in Aberdeen just proved. This is not necessarily a recommendation but it works for me and together my 900 T16S Aero and I have chalked up 220K miles + with no radiator declogs, hose replacements or bust heater cores.
