I was told to use laundry liquid softner
 
I have been told it takes the air bubbles out of the system and laundry liquid softner does the same thing?

Well, I tried it in a 2-stroke (KX250) that was getting hot on a 33mi annual poker run I used to do. The year I tried it (2003) it made a difference. All I know is that it did not over flow like w/o the water-wetter. In a race car, I do not have the expierence though. Scooter

I bought into the anti corrosion and water pump lubrication properties as well.

I run distilled water and water wetter. Don't know if it runs any cooler.

I run it in everything I own. Does it work? hmmmmm... I really dont' know. I guess I got it just in case it does. :oops:
All kidding aside we use to put it in warehouse forklifts that were running hot. It did cool them down and good bit. Probably 10-15* like other guys said.

water wetter
 
I used "Below 40" in my mini sprints and full sprint car. Never ran a fan on the radiator, only air flow is when we were moving. Liked the way it ran the temp down. Worked quite a bit better than the "WATER WETTER". You run it with distilled water and a slight amount of anti-freeze.

It does not work if you are making any power with a non adaquate cooling system, Dont waste your money, fix the problem

Agreed. ANY coolant cooler additive is no solution for an inadequetly effective SYSTEM. It's only a 'fine tune'.
