[Ducati] Water Wetter

[Stephen lee]

Thank you for your response. 
  I thought they just wanted water and/or water wetter only. However, after re-reading the "bike prep" info, I found this:
  6) Advanced and Intermediate group riders MUST use water or water wetter or a non-ethyl glycol based anti-freeze/coolant. Approved Poly Glycol brands are: Evans, 7th Gear, Liquid Performance, and Engine Ice. NO AUTOMOTIVE ETHYL GLYCOL BASED COOLANTS ARE ALLOWED. 
   
  Thanks again,
  Steve

  Course what is missing in this equation is that you do not have to go with just water and water wetter, but can go to a mixture of water and the minimum of ethylene/propylene glycol which for some is 50/50 or even less, seems years back I went 60/40 or 70/30 water/ coolant. and added the appropriate number of ounces of water wetter. The water wetter in the right mix of coolant to water will help, back when I first started doing that it dropped average temps 10-15 degrees. Note that it has a few undesireable properties like boiling at 212 when not under pressure, you want better contact with metal so surfactant helps. I was not happy with Evans Coolant though. But a mix of DI water/coolant and water wetter for all the time use is fine...it is not just for track use. I did this for years with no ill effects that I could see. Rich
