RE: [Chevelle-list] IS this enuf COOLING for AZ

[Brian Knight]

You should ALWAYS run at least some antifreeze because it has corrosion/rust 
inhibitors to protect your engine/cooling system. I'm not sure if water 
wetter does or not. Water wetter reduces surface tension of the water 
allowing more effecient cooling. Antifreeze does raise the boiling point of 
water and also acts as a lube for the water pump.

Probably good enough, but if you are talking Arizona, then you really
don't need much, if any antifreeze unless you plan to taking a trip to
the mountains or using it year round.  Check the minimum temperature you
will ever see and use the right formula to keep from making ice.
Antifreeze does not cool as well as water, and the more you use the
worse your system will cool.  In southern California, I don't use any
antifreeze at all, just the water wetter and distilled water.
