A better coolant?
Greeting from the land of the C3's. I thought I would post this question to you high tech C5 guys. Thanks in advance. Has anyone used or know about the non-aquius coolant made by evans http://www.evanscooling.com. It's supposed to run at almost zero internal pressure with a higher boil point than the green or orange stuff.

Amazing stuff. BUT it does have one drawback, IT"S FLAMMABLE !
It's one thing to have a coolant loss (due to bad hose or water pump), quite another to have an engine fire !

I purchased a gallon to try in the dirtbike, but haven't put it in yet.
The major drawback to this stuff is its extremely poor heat capacity (rate of thermal transfer). It also has a higher viscosity than water / glycol.
For my car, I'd definately go aftermarket radiator rather than NPG+.
