Nightmare of modern coolants.

Wow, that looks like a coolant to stay away from!

It starts off with meaningless hype such as "Ultra Premium Ethylene Glycol base stock", and claims such "exceeds ALL the latest manufacturer specifications".

What does "designed to eliminate detonation between cylinder liners in aluminum block cast iron sleeve configuration" mean? I guess that's true if read literally -- there won't be any combustion between the cylinders when that space is filled with coolant.

I don't know how the claim "evacuating heat 4 times faster than standard coolants" could possibly be supported. All glycol + water coolants will have similar specific heat and boiling points.

It also consistently uses the word "exceeds" when mentioning specifications. It never says "meets specifications X", which would require them to actually conform to the specification.

At $27/gallon for 50/50 premix, that's expensive snake oil.

Look at what it says about it's lubricants, looks like a load of [censored] to me. (Quantum Blue) that is.

Amazing astute analysis. Obviously put forth by those with highly perceptive judgmental skills!

Oh, well maybe judgmental. Or just mental.

The guy is fueling and lubing your military, aerospace, and more, guys. Call him and talk to him. Otherwise you'll just reveal yourselves to all of us.

I've viewed the page in question and seeing the repeated emphasis on 'Sodium Silicate' and the ridiculous claim that the industry is relying on it for boiling point properties, I'd say it is indeed marketing doublespeak. It's a lot easier to sell BITOG members with technical data, including patent and MSDS info

That makes me feel better

We all know the government makes sound choices

Boneheads. Read a page of marketing, and don't take the time to do your research. You must be brain dead.

You are all correct. The best coolants are in Wal Mart!

If you would call Brian and speak to him he'll explain it all. I really don't think a web ad defines his product, and I doubt ANYONE would post all their technical data. Most of the companies require an email or some form of contact outside the marketing arena.

Oh well. Suffice it to say that you are at least missing out on an illuminating technical discussion with a guy who developed PROPRIETARY technology for your military.

But wait, I could've just gone where the other lemmings went!

I am always skeptical of some new "wonder" liquid that can cure all engine physics. Sounds like MMO claims to me. Why haven't the other companies come up with a similar product? Are they too stupid?

You provided only the URL. We read it, get past the marketing double-speak and see the claims as, at best, misleading (i.e. do the research). Then you call us "boneheads".

It's a website that claims to be manufacturing, yet has only a P.O. box. It's written first-person-singular.

Hmmm, first name basis with the owner; benefits can only be described over the phone but not in writing; statement that no one posts technical data.

I don't need to do any research.

QuantumBlue???
