Yes - Photoflo is very similar to water wetter - it's a non-foaming detergent. It also lowered the surface tension enough to let the surface water drain of the film instead of drying on it. It would make a mess of the film if it was not diluted properly, or used past it's life expectancy. I

Use Evans Waterless Antifreeze (NPG+) in your cooling system. I have it in three of my MBs and getting ready to put it in number four. It has been in my first 300 SDL for almost four years. I have no way to prove or disprove claims made by the sellers but I do know it won't boil until it

The water pump and other equipment upgrades are for NPG, not NPG+ which is a drop-in replacement. I just looked at the web site and it's quite a bit lower - .68 verses 1.00 for water. This means that although the stuff won't boil, it's a much poorer conductor of heat than water. This may be why
