Using "water wetter" additive in farm equipmen

[fdt860]

I am just reading about this additive, supposely great.
Does it mix well with coolgard? Does it works on combines, tractors, etc, with ready mixed antifreeze?

Thank you!

I used to use it in my drag car. It will drop your operating temperature a few degrees, and if that's what you need you'll be satisfied. It will not correct an undersized cooling system. It does mix with whatever else is in the radiator.

A lot of people use it in their Model T Ford to help with cooling issues.

I had a chevy dually with their 6.5l diesel engine and used it in that radiator. It sure seemed to help drop temps a few degrees.

I work with water base chemicals at work, the products
that I have worked with like this it reduces the surface
tension of water so the chemicals in the water coat
better. I also used stuff like this in spray for crops.

doesnt diesel antifreeze use a cavitation additive that pretty much does that... to stop cavitaion? It breaks down the surface tension of the water so it cant hammer the block.

Where can I find it for my 17 T?

Thank you for the reply. I was thinking about using it in my 8820. Radoator hasbeen rebuilt and is clean, but she is running on the hot side.
I was also thinking about removing some advance on the injection pump.that should also make it run cooler,whilemaking it a little harder to start.

I think I would sooner add a coolant filter assembly. Then the filter, containing additive, can be changed every oil change.

Thanks Mark.
I have got to get the T out and going in a few weeks.

i use purple ice additive, like the others said it is a wetting agent and corrosion inhibitor. it does work. here is a link

Haha you might be on to something I wonder if nonionic surfactant...maybe in something other than the 38 B Ill go dump it in the red one out back see how it goes first
