OK it has been bothering me that I can't find ANY mention on this subject in the least. I feel this could be a benefit to many G5 users.
Evan's Waterless Engine Coolant is something that's been somewhat known in the power-sport scene. In long-haulers like Cruisers and Goldwings, it is really taking-off.
The benefits are:
*claims* it never has to be replaced unlike typical water/glycol.
Doesn't contain corrosive water.
Doesn't build pressure as high as water/glycol when hot.
*claims* to run cooler.
When I began to see the results of using Evan's, I immediately connected the benefits to G5's. As I understand, liquid-cooled Mac's use a water/glycol coolant. They begin to leak and the cores corrode. The numerous heartache tales I hear of G5's that are taken to an early grave seem to be completely avoidable by using waterless coolant. It's stable and never needs to be replaced thus likely would never corrode the radiators. The pressure would never be near that of water/glycol thus preventing the hoses from rupturing or leaking.
I see this as a good long-term solution and a means of preventing more frustration for PPC hobbyists. There's fewer and fewer of these out there anymore. Is it worth it to try this to preserve them?
