ah ok.
your water pump failed because the seals are not designed for ELC coolant.
ford specifies no ELC pre -99 for this reason.
however many people do dare to run the stuff and some without issues too.i guess they really hate maintaining SCA's. i keep testing my fleet charge,but so far so good,and im still using a no sca charged filter lol.
