Re: Coolant suprise
 

Somewhere I have a link to glove sales, that tell what chemicals they're
good for.
Twenty years ago Arco was the first to add ten percent alcohol, which
promptly eat out all the carburetor float needle valve using neoprene. Not
word was said about it, only that all the kits use the new compound.

There aren't any 'new compounds' to speak of for Jeeps; HOAT's (G-05),
are still using the same old silicated, ethlyene glycol stuff that's
been around for 50 years, but with a new, exciting dye color, lower
silicate levels, some benzoate, and without the phosphates; maybe even
some fragrance added to further excite the senses of buyers who don't
know dog poop from diamonds. G-05 is chemically similar to the old
green stuff, just some noodling with the recipe portions is all. This
stuff isn't any more EPA/ERA/NRA..whatever friendly than it's ever been.

Ignore the wild claims and BS on window stickers, and you'll do just fine.
