Had not heard about this, sounds a good idea if you have just put in a new radiator.

Sounds interesting, without that amount of pressure in the cooling system there must be a lot less issues.

Sounds like time for a group buy...

Interesting looking stuff

I've heard particular coolant types are banned on race tracks, wonder if this is one of them.

I'm sure there's others here much more knowledgeable than myself.

i think this stuff is hard to use correctly because even a single drop of water remaining will ruin it and then you wont be able to perform the magic party trick by opening the radiator cap when the cars hot.

if you leave the cap open and let it get hot wont the water just come out as vapour?

Don't hold me to this but I believe that coolants with Glycol in them are not allowed. Pretty much anything but regular coolant or water is far to oily to risk having it get on the track.

I had a chat with a bloke in NSW that makes and sells similar stuff (Liquid Intelligence). He said the Aussie stuff has a corrosion inhibitor to take care of any small amounts of moisture left in the system. I was also interested in how track legal it was an apparently there are no issues on that front either with a number if teams running it. I didn't press him for names. Costs approximately $25/l.

According to the guy in the Jay Leno video it has a 3% tolerance and so if the car takes 5L of coolant then 150mL of water is fine
