Hi Guys,
Just did some service work on a 912S , and had to drop the coolant out of it to change a hose, the coolant was that Evans NFG.
What I saw was severe corrosion on the alloy stubs on the Rotax and radiator,and inside the cadmium plated steel Tee piece used to splice the carb' heater into the system [ as in red rust on the steel and flaking white ''powder'' on the alloy] ?
I have never been convinced about this Evans NFG, will try to get the owner to go to 50/50 antifreeze/water.....................

Hi Nev,
I did a “5-years-service” this winter and replaced all rubber parts: fuel, oil, water hoses, etc
My engine, 912S, has used Evans from the very first day and it approaching 400 hour.
No sign of corrosion at all. On the contrary, clean alloy stubs and radiator. I also cut the hoses for closer
inspections. Same result: clean.
Another 912S owner in our hanger did swap from Evans to water without cleaning the system from water.
That was not smart. The mixture turn to a jelly like condition.
Nev, do you know if this 912S has run on Evans all the time or if it has been “converted” from 50/50 ?
Best regards
Stephan

Hi,
I'm not up with Evans coolant, but on any engine I care about like my 912S or my
Ducatis, I use Distilled water 50/50 with a high quality normal antifreeze,
not had any corrosion or cooling issues as yet,
Steve.

Hi all,
In France many users used� G12 Volkswagen dilued with Water 30% (-24�C)
�
This cooler liquid is auto obturant, ininflamable, non corrosive, and life guarantee.
Personnaly I used with friends of me since 2001.
�
For me It is a good solution
