Evans does NOT corrode, because there are NO silicates or phosphates in their coolant.

They are also known to clog the screens in the coolant tubes going to the aftercooler, especially on the Cummins BC4 low-flow cooling system. Silicates can build-up on the liners and in the water jacket, which inhibits cooling. Silicates are corrosion inhibitors that are present in regular antifreeze. Here is something else to consider when thinking about switching to Evans Waterless Coolant – it contains no silicates. Keep this in mind: a thermostat takes 15 degrees to fully open, so a 190-degree thermostat is not fully open until 205 degrees, and a 195 thermostat at 210 degrees, which is too hot for me. That is why we see an improvement in fuel savings, too.

When we install our high-flow radiators and 180-degree thermostats, the truck usually never sees 205 degrees, so the fan rarely ever comes on. I wish they would have told me this five years ago! I never could figure out how higher coolant temperatures could improve fuel mileage, but as it turns out, the fuel savings results from the fan coming on less (or not at all). Last summer at the truck show in Dallas, Evans’ booth was right across the aisle from ours, so at the end of the show I asked them why I couldn’t use a 180-degree thermostat with their coolant and they said I could. I’m old school – I like 180 degrees, which is why we at Pittsburgh Power have stayed away from Evans Waterless Coolant for so long. Evans, with its’ 375-degree boiling point, usually recommends installing a 205-degree thermostat, which raises the temperature of when the fan comes on. In addition to all of the other advantages that Evans Waterless Coolant provides, it can also increase your truck’s fuel mileage, but I have always wondered how. And, when it’s time for a new radiator, install one of our high-flow dimpled-tubed units with more tubes and more “fins-per-inch” than a stock one (then you won’t have to stare at the temperature gauge on every hill)! So, let’s try to eliminate the head cracking issues by using Evans Waterless Coolant and 180-degree thermostats.

However, there are more cracked cylinder heads on the electronic engines than we ever had with the older mechanical engines, because the newer electronic engines run hotter. We do not know how much boiling takes place above the piston in the head because the sensor is not in that area. Steam created by boiling antifreeze creates a “barrier” effect and doesn’t show up on the coolant temperature sensor. The liners WILL NOT pit, so premature engine failures are darn-near eliminated. Those of you who are mechanically-inclined have probably seen how liner pitting can put coolant into the oil pan. Evans doesn’t do this because of its exceptionally-high boiling point. The pressure created with green or red antifreeze is from the coolant boiling in the head and next to the cylinder liners.

That’s why it WILL NOT blow out of the radiator. This will certainly help your truck to run longer – and give you a little peace of mind.ĭo you always feel the need to stop and check your coolant level after climbing a long hill? Well, there’s no need to worry about the pressure pushing the coolant out of the radiator and burning you, because there is NO pressure. Not only that, there is no corrosion, so the engine block, water pump and cylinder liners will all last longer, too. Yes, it is expensive, but since there will be no pressure in the radiator, heater core, or all of the hoses, they will last longer. It’s good for the life of the engine and doesn’t boil, unless you get your engine over 375 degrees. Most people don’t think much about the coolant in their radiator until their truck overheats in the middle of nowhere! So, what do you need to know about green and red antifreeze? Nothing! Just forget about them and install Evans Waterless Coolant in your truck.
