I saw this for the first time on Wheeler Dealers a week or so ago. Sounds interesting but I have not seen it here (USA) yet. Kinda expensive and converting Pounds to Dollars always gives me a headache. Shipping from Britain might be expensive as well.

Here's what it would cost for my 90.

If my math is off a little, it's because it's 4am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 Liter = 0.264172051 Gallon [Fluid, US]

15 quart [US, liquid] = 3.749999992902353 gallon [US, liquid] of coolant in a standard 90 radiator.

180 GBP for 15 liters @ 1.6164 = $291

Sounds about right

Cost for decent quality ethylene glycol coolant: $15.00 per gallon of concentrate, $1.00 per gallon of distilled water. Need two of each.

Total cost for filling typical C4 cooling system: $32.00
Additional cost of $$3.00-$4.00 for 2-3 beers.
