Yes, of course I use coolant. I don't use 100% ethylene glycol,  only 60% - 70 %, so I want to know if the water content will cause reaction! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leighton Wolfe Sent: Sunday, 6 April 2003 12:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Chemical Reaction u dont use coolants in you radiator water???     why is that     thanx   Leighton ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Lamb To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 05, 2003 11:33 PM Subject: Re: Chemical Reaction Does anyone know for sure if aluminium and brass react in water (coolant)? I am going to use a brass thermo fan switch in my plastic radiator tank and it needs an adapter. I was going to make it (the adapter) from aluminium but I am not sure if this will cause electrolysis. Aluminium is anodic to brass and so will corrode in preference in a suitable solution (eg plain water).  But if you use a suitable corrosion inhibitor the reaction rate is slowed dramatically.  I don't bother with coolant's as such, but have used the Castrol radiator corrosion inhibitor for years without problems. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
