Radiator Additive breathes life into any car

Good evening all!

I am in need of some help. I am trying to test the claims of an additive for a car's radiator. I am told that it makes a rough running engine run like new and that it gives better fuel economy. Also, and the part I am interested in: it is claimed it reduces the emissions of a car. It apparently is all to do with frequencies and something to do with sub atomic something or other (as you see I am highly technical!!)

I have seen fuel saving from this in my spider but I am looking for solid testing to prove or disprove the claims. Things like "it pulls better in first from a stand still on the clutch" don't really mean a lot if there are no print outs etc.

Any help and advice will be mightily appreciated!!

Hmmmm

I have heard of additives that reduce the surface tension of the water, and this leads to more efficient cooling, also additives have been around for ages that temporarily fix radiators..

But nothing like you describe.

Most of the stuff like that tends to be just a catch penny..

Whats it called and where did it come from?

Sounds like utter rubbish
How can adding something to a cooling system change anything in the running of the engine .........

I dunno. I bet adding sand to the radiator would effect the running of the engine
Seriously though, I agree it's tosh.

This liquid was developed by a scientist in Italy who is currently selling it in Africa to all the aid agencies. It works by changing the frequency of the magnetic field around the engine improving the combustion of the engine. I have a massive document going into the way it works, and studies but I am looking for actual car testing. They developed a fuel additive with the same qualities but bearing in mind people might accuse it of damaging their car it was developed into an additive for the radiator, closed circuit with no way of harming the engine!

Symonh2000 - I came across it by chance at a university talk, at the moment it is called Fluiteck but if sold here will get a new name.

JWQ - Exactly what I thought, so if you want I can do exactly what the people there did and send you a sample, PM me if you are interested. It comes in 25ml shots and lasts for about 600 miles before you need to top up.

Haha I am sure it would!! I knew it was not going to be an easy task developing a market and selling it in the UK but I have some samples so let me know if you want one.

Here we go again! More snake oil...

'Closed circuit' surely works both ways. If you're claiming that it has no way of harming the engine, then surely it also has no way of giving benefit to it either?

I didn't realise from your previous post that this was something you were looking into selling. To be frank, I wouldn't believe it was of benefit until I saw it - and even then I'd be cynical.

Still, there'll always be some mugs willing to buy anything marketed well enough - do you want to be the kind of person who takes advantage of this though?

I actually thought it sounds like a load of old tosh as well, but I thought I would be diplomatic about the way I said it.

Fuel is not magnetic, and neither is air or water so I am not sure how it could possibly work. Bear in mind I work with magnets..

The only way it could just possibly make a extremely slight difference is if you had a superconductiong magnet in there somewhere as these are powerful enough to cause attractions in non metals and non ferrous materials. But that wouldn't work because the weigh about 3 tonnes, attract anything ferrous within about 5 meters, and require filling with a Cryogen such as liquid helium.

How a radiator additive can achieve this is beyond me. But if anyone need me to check with one of our scientists..

Is aluminium magnetic

Must work really well on modern engines....

All valid points, no I am not looking to taking people for a ride hence am going to be doing a lot of tests to prove or disprove the claims. If I can prove the product great, if not well I have lost a little money. If it does work and I get the data to prove this I will happily pass it on. Obviously if it does work I would be happy to offer samples to Alfa owners to make up their own minds. That way if it works I get my marketing done in the best way, by word of mouth!

I might take you up on this offer myself if I prove it works. To be honest I need to read more into the studies to get a better understanding on how it works.

What I was looking for is someone with experience of rolling roads, and engine diagnosis to see how it changes engine performance.

Car Radiators live longer with Calgon!!

Okay wouldn't go putting that in as it might contain a detergent or something making a foam party out of your car, but has got me thinking... how many garages actually use distilled water when replacing the coolant, surely if anything that would be most beneficial?

When I filled my cars radiator I used water that came from my dehumidifier. No lime or other nasties in that, and a lot cheaper than buying the ready mixed stuff.

Its also good in the screenwash bottle.

Fair enough, will be interesting to know how you get on, but my gut feeling isn't optimistic!

Like this stuff ?

No way of harming the engine? Put a bag of cement in the rad, will it harm the engine? IMHO there is absolutely no chance of this product doing what it claims, and no information about what risks you are taking in using it. Sorry to be so blunt.

I had come across this stuff. Maybe there is some similarity but this is an oil where my stuff goes in the rad, but maybe soon I will have motorsport people recommending it
