from what ive read so far waterless coolant is just Ethylene Glycol/Propylene Glycol blend, if this is true then i suppose you could make it yourself cheaper and easier than trying to find readily available "premix" on the shelf for an inflated price to i bet. Not sure how they mix or if there different types that can only be used, Anyone have proof?

This might also be related.... backs the NPG theory, but also might have colloidal silica.

"for a mixture of non-aqueous propylene glycol (NPG)" .... "CONTROL OF WATER CONTENT WITH THE COLLOIDAL SILICA"

have looked into the evans coolants before, only thing I got put off by was the price, a tad expensive but if it works as well as they say than in the long run it would be OK

what's everyone use atm?

Ive always used "Tectaloy High Load Red" it's the only one that i could find that is simple, has Anti corrosion and has the most Ethylene Glycol 60+ % without buying a tin of "Water" being labeled as "Super coolant" lol, with the cooler thermostat and a good working cooling system ive found with mine i only really need it in there for anti corrosion. Though im not doing any racing to heat it up like some of you are.

Mine is prob a 30% mix of that with filtered tank water.

There's also handy tables in this wiki about achieving the boiling point or freezing point you want.
