PS Are you SURE you want to be using that nasty stuff instead of DexCool? -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=372270#372270 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:40:14 AM PST US Subject: Re: RotaxEngines-List: Re: Evans Coolant From: FLYaDIVE That does not sound like a bad deal. If it does pick up dirt - you are making the engine cleaner. Where would the swarf come from? Doesn't the manufacture clean their product before shipping? And even if it does pick up these items - That is a good thing.. You could always filter the them out.

It has been in my Rotax for about the same amount of time as yours and it is clear as can be. I live in the AZ desert and it cools my engine just fine. I have never overheated or had to add a drop yet. If you read about the hot spots (steam pockets around the combustion area) it can prevent in a Rotax I don't understand why anyone would want to use anything else, especially since Rotax recommends its use. If it can keep the old Ford flat head engines cool and keep the block from cracking between the valves it has to be good. The only drawback I can think of is if it does get low on coolant to maintain its integrity Evens has to be added. I carry a pint with me. Remember, Ron Lee and Roger Lee are two different persons. Roger is the certified expert on Rotax engines. -------- Ron Lee Tucson, Arizona Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=372290#372290 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 12:57:11 PM PST US From: Bob Comperini Subject: Re: RotaxEngines-List: Re: Evans Coolant On 12:31 PM 5/2/2012, ronlee wrote: > >I vote to leave it in as the Evans manufacture recommends. If one does the good ol' Rotax 5 year replacement of all rubber parts, seems to me it wouild still be best to just replace the coolant at the same time (instead of draining it into some container, where its likely to get contaminated anyway) -- Bob Comperini e-mail: bob@fly-ul.com WWW: http://www.fly-ul.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rotaxengines-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RotaxEngines-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rotaxengines-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rotaxengines-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
