Has anyone ever tried Hyperkuhl on a Hudson?

Hello, I would like to try this stuff:

www.no-rosion.com/hyperkuhlcoolant.htm

... does anyone of you have any experience with it? Maybe this is the "water wetter" that Walt is recommending? And... is it safe to mix with a conventional 50/50 polyethylene/silicate mix?


Thanks! Mike

    Sounds like a competitor to Red Line Water Wetter, there are quite a few since Redline exclusive patents ran out some years back. Its probably fine, but I still would put in a lubricant( anti rust). Many of us hear in Az don't use antifreze, as the temps don't go low enough. Water,alone, is a better heat dissipator and that is more concern than cold.In pre war cars without pressurized cooling systems I have found antifreeze can't circulate fast enough to cool. In some cars the mixture will blow out the overflow, liking too much soap in a washing machine.

    In my new engine I will run: As I did on the old engine.

    1 Qt Gunk Liguid Kool/Super Coolant
    1 QT Gunk Radiator Anti-Rust & Water Pump Lube
    1 Qt Anti Freeze for Texas Weather

    The rest water. Preferably not city water

    granpa do you mean 1 gallon antifreeze or 1 quart?

    1 Quart of Antifreeze. This is for Texas weather which only freezes 1-5X during the winter season.

    Colorado, Mass, Wisconsin, different story, for anti-freeze.

    I got the water wetter, and soluable oil from Auto Zone here in Austin. I'm sure your local auto store can order it if they don't stock it.

    City water has too many chemicals in it. Distilled water the best, in my estimation. Above all never use well water.

    I envy you for the beautiful Texas weather. Here it gets really cold in Winter, so we need an almost 50/50 mixture... a friend of mine forgot to put antifreeze into his boat last winter and the block cracked. He thought he was fine but when he took it out in spring for a ride, the oil looked like "Bailey´s" Whishky/cream mix afterwards...

    Thank you for all your replies. In the meantime I found out on other websites that Hyperkuhl is safe to use with a 50/50 mix of polypropylene - not matter if it´s the green/blue silicate stuff or the no-silica red stuff. However, with a 50/50 mix the extra cooling effect is only about 5-7° F while with straight water you get a much more significant temp drop. The big advantage over "Red Line": I can get it here! B)

    Thanks again for your help! Mike
