One gallon of Evans Coolant is WAY more than you need for a 912.
Definitely get the Evans Flush to clean the anit-freeze out of the
system. That said, I have been running way too hot ever since I put
the Evans in (no other changes) and I am seriously considering
switching back to 50-50. Has anybody else had this problem?

Ben, Thanks for the update. Based on your post, I think I 'll pass on the
Evans. My typical temps are in the 180-200 degree range and hot spots seem
a stretch to me. I could use the extra temps in the winter, but not enough
to go through the trouble of the rinse etc.

I've run Evans here in Houston for two years and really like it. No
noticable difference in cooling. Before Evans I did run 100% antifreeze as
I originally had boiling problems (hot spots) when running any water so
maybe that's why I didn't see a temp increase. My coolant temps have always
run fine.
I also run Evans in my Sube powered Nieuport 11. It's good stuff.

I would urge all 912 drivers (especially 912S drivers) to change to Evans.
I had a boil over with my 912S last Christmas day at about 34 F outside.
This after flying all summer with no problems! As I understand it, it is
sort of a random occurance. It may never happen to you, or it may pop up
any time.
All it takes is one steam bubble which impedes the flow of coolant in that
circuit (one of four on the 912) and insulates the metal so it just gets
hotter.

Hi Ben,
I was looking at the Evans site and found this in the propaganda section:
Evans NPG Coolant will transfer 27.5% more heat energy than water in your race engine, due to NPG's molar heat of vaporization and high saturation temperature.
Could it be you are seeing higher coolant temperatures because Evans is pulling more heat from your engine?
