Is anyone of you out there using the Evans waterless coolant in your engines, whether auto or aircraft?

I'm considering making the switch while I've got my Soob powered Fox5 down for annual, but thought I'd ask if there's any personal experience any of you might share.

Also, any sources and/or prices would be appreciated.

Tnx,

Deke

I have it in both my Kitfox 912 and the EA81 in my

Nieuport. I like it.

Have you found any difference when comparing to Ethylene Glycol?

In my engines it appears to cool pretty much as well

as regular EG. I used to run 100% EG in the Kitfox

to avoid boiling after shutdown and one has to be

concerned with gelling. Not with Evans. That and

the lifetime nature of Evan's alone are well worth

the few extra bucks to me. Plus, the higher boiling

temperature is nice down here in TX were running at

95 to 100+ OAT a lot of the year is normal.

Dee,

Which product is best for us flyers? NPG, NPG+, or

NPG-R?

I might switch to this in Florida with the heat the

turbo puts out.

Yes good stuff and eliminated the need for a thermostat. You will need

double the standard NSI over flow due to greater expansion. Be sure to

use the flush first. Get a low pressure cap as well.

Thanks.  Do you know of any chains that carry the stuff so I don't have to

go mail order?

That's the sort of info I was looking for.  Any idea where I can find a

suitable overflow bottle?  What flush do I need?  The cap should be

available at NAPA.

Here's a link to the dealers.  I ordered direct from 

Evans as you only need a gallon of flush (IF you 

already have EG in the system) and a gallon of 

coolant.  BTW, if you don't use up the whole gallon 

of flush you can actually use it to add to the 

coolant to top it off later.  It's fully compatable 

per Evans.



Regards,



Ted

Rick, I don't think you need to change the cap.

Thanks for that comment.  I see no reason for the lower pressure cap, and

the Rotax SB doesn't require a lower pressure cap.

Best recommendation is the same formula that is recommended by Rotax. as it 

has some ethelene glycol mixed into the propylene base that Evans uses. The 

reason it for enhance the heat transfer properties. The info in the Rotax 

bulletin and repeated on the Evans web site if I remember correctly. My 

memory fails sorry.

Thanks Paul,

When I get back in the US and can get around to it,

I`ll ask Evans too, before ordering.  Each product

seems to have some advantages for a turbo soob running

at more than highway cruise power settings.  Maybe the

Rotax mix will be best here too.

Great Rick,



This would probably make it so I can live with my

radiator scoop cooling capacity as is and only reduce

it in winter.  (I am pushing it for cooling above 85 F

or so now, especially climbing or on a long taxi.) 

Then I only only need to add the thermostat bypass to

my oil cooler to keep the temps up when cold.



Been running the coolant around 160 in the cool air

lately, but the oil doesn`t get hot enough then.  If I

kept both at 210 F with Evans in it, that should work

well.  Then I just have to watch the GB temps, which

seem to follow a little below the case temps.



BTW, what is the freezing point for Evans coolant? 

Anyone found that yet?

Yep, If you already have the NSI unit , just get the full size rubber

made. The screw on cap will fit. If not check Summit racing. Evans has

the right flush. It removes any water that might be in the system. NAPP

is where I purchased mine. It wasn't the 3, think it was a 7.
