Maybe Crypto Kid with his actual cylinder head temperature gauge fitted could test the stuff for actual metal temperatures. I can understand slightly HIGHER coolant temperatures as a result of improved heat transfer, with correspondingly lower metal temperatures. Not knowing the make-up of water wetter, I can't say whether it does increase the specific heat markedly. To me, a DROP in coolant temperature (all other things being equal) would be LESS heat transferred to the cooling system, unless a coolant of far greater specific heats was being used. I think Smokey even used liquid ivory soap to reduce the surface tension and ensure that the passages were wetted. Grumpy Jenkings reported turning off the (electric) water pump for a brief period before a critical run to get a few more horses. Smokey used sodium silicate to reduce the heat flow through his aluminium heads to match iron. I'm confused at the claims of water wetter (I've used it however, and didn't see any changes (in anything).īoth Smokey Yunick and Grumpy Jenkins state that when you go to an aluminium head, you lose some power, as there is more effective heat transfer to the coolant, and energy is lost. Whoever said "it allows the use of lower octane gas" does not know what hes talking about. Using water wetter with a cooling system that is functioning properly and the engine doesnt overheat, will not help one single bit. this is well documented with thermistor probes accurite to 1/10th of a degree. water wetter has the nice side effect of lowering operating tempatures as well.

watercooled computers dont get hot enough to kill bacteria and fingus, so we add waterwetter or a cap full of bleach to do this. In extreme cases it may save your engine. Even if your coolant gauge shows its in a safe temperature range, you can still have localized hot spots in another part of your engine. In high performance computing solutions, we use water wetter as a coolant and anti-fungal agent. Water Wetter works to help prevent these 'hot spots' from forming, so you are not necessarily lowering your overall coolant temperature which is a popular belief. Now, if your car is overheating water wetter would help, as the thermostat is already open so water wetter can do its thing. your car WILL reach operating tempature or else the thermostat will never open. Water wetter WONT WORK in normal cars, this is because your cooling system is thermostat controlled, so it doesnt matter how good of a cooling solution you have. this ensures that fresh fluid is frequently replaced so that it doesnt have time to become corrosive. Using water wetter in a RACECAR wont be a problem as you will most likely drain and re-fill the cooling system after each race. you will get as much corrosion and rust as if you wan water alone. using water wetter and water alone in an engine will cause bad corrision things to happen over time.
It also is NOT an anti-corrosive radiator fluid additive. it wont make you be able to drop a grade of gas.
this means there is more physical contact with the inside of an engine. What water wetter does is similar to LAUNDRY SOAP in that it makes water's surface tension lower. it doesnt work as good as they say it does. We use water wetter in high performance liquid cooled computers.
