The etc part would refer to leaks also right; which in return...



Which is also why....

Yes you did MISS THE POINT !!!

You must be part dumbazz... A catch can WILL NOT CATCH ANTIFREEZE THAT GETS OUT DUE TO A WRECK WHEN THE RADIATOR, GETS BUSTED ETC>>>>

you dont have to use any antifreeze in an engine if you live in warm climates. you can run water but corrosion will set in. Use Water Wetter with the water. It has anti corrisive agents of that of antifreeze in it. Water has superior heat tranfer of any other glycol based coolants.

Why do racecars use it?

1. water is free
2. it evaporates
3. easy to clean up
4. better heat transfer than antifreeze
5. lower engine temperature, you can run more timing

I wouldnt use straight water without a corrosion inhibitor like Water Wetter.

All water pumps that i have put it are sealed bearings. How do you lube a water pump?

That was actually a very intelligent post

Water wetter is one of several products like it that keep the corrosion down.. Most pumps can't actually be lubed, but what can is the seals that seal the water/coolant from coming out around the shaft.. I had already caught that in the original post but thought it was already hard enough getting him to understang the fact that a catch can don't catch coolant from a broke radiator, broken block, blown headgasket, etc...

I never said it would, obviously it won't when you wreck.

I WAS SIMPLY SUGGESTING THAT A CATCH CAN WOULD CATCH SMALL LEAKS TO PREVENT WRECKS ALSO OK. If I am wrong and that's not one of it's purposes then sue me, I don't think not knowing contributes to being a dumbazz. If it does then why do we have a message forum in the first place? To learn, ask questions and get opinions right?

We're all on the same side here chief.

Yes, very good point, that is exactly what I do since my car stays in SouthEast Texas heat. Water wetter is great stuff. I highly recommend it to everyone.

It was that "know everything attitude" that got me stirred up.. I hope we are on the same side.
