Evans waterless coolant

What kind of cap do y'all run?

CAT35niner · Oct 16, 2014

I'm running a dirty diesel customs tank. So I'm using a summit cap with a hole drilled in it. You can just drill a hole in your factory cap or if you have a old one.

That's the answer I needed. I've got the old degas bottle so I'll just run that line to atmosphere with coolant level adjusted.

Thanks!0

No problem sir.

I just have a stock cap with a brass fitting and a hose vented towards the firewall.

Do you have a link for that tank? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Depends on where it's leaking. Gotta remember the weight of the coolant pushing down on a crack or loose crimp on the tanks it still will leak. I had a couple leaks cause of a loose clamps and it leaked just from the weight of the coolant.

didn't someone just do a lot of testing on the stock radiators and come to the conclusion that the cab mount bushings can play a big part in the radiators leaking?

Yes. Iirc it was Mishimoto that did that. But not sure.

Correct.

Also powerstrokehelp also has a video concluding that the cab mounts are to blame for leaking radiators. Iirc their customer had a aftermarket radiator as well.

I need to do my mounts before I drop mine in. They're chunking out.

I need to check mine still. So I flushed my cooling system at 44k when the egr delete went on, and I put motorcraft coolant back in it. From what I'm gathering whether you have an egr delete or not, the coolant is still harmful to the front covers?
I thought that was more of an egr related issue. I just wanna make sure I understand.

I was always under the impression that front cover issues were coolant related, RPM if you are running 4.33s or 4.80s, the original degas design and the pre-T on the line connecting to degas and maybe the original radiator hoses (single o-ring).

The coolant conversation is intresting. I'd like to hear more from people who have run it. Also curious what some of the engine builders like Morgan Primm think of this stuff?

Honestly, I think any quality coolant. Will be just fine. Once deleted I change all ours to either a green standard or red elc. But that's just my $0.02....

Red elc... The Shell coolant that international uses? I haven't heard that one before but that's good to know!
