Evans Waterless Coolant

I was wondering if anyone has used Evans Waterless Coolant. I'm thinking about trying it in my truck. It seems like a good way to prevent cavitation. But I'm not sure if the 6 gallons at $30 bucks each is worth it. I can buy alot of additive and test strips for that much money.

I've been reading about it and I like the fact that it has a boiling point of 370 degrees, so if the motor gets hot (a diesel works better the hotter it gets, to a point) you don't need to worry as much, you'd just need to watch the oil temp. I'm thinking about using some so I can run electric fans and if they don't cool quite enough it won't be a problem. You do need to clean out all the water from the entire cooling system and carry some extra in case you need to top it off. May be worth a try.

I tried it
It didnt work for me.
The coolant temps were higher than previous and oil temp was still high.
I tried it in a 96 Corvette that was built to a 396.

Not recommended in our diesels...... buy the green stuff, distilled water and test strips.

Why doesn't it work well in IDI's. What applications would it work well?

I just got a reply from Evans and they stated that it works very well in all diesels. I'll try it and see how it goes, it's only money!
