Nor does it provide lower temp!
I gave water wetter a real test in June/July when I drove my MG TA to
durango, CO and back. Going over through Bakersville and I40 my temp with
NapaCool and water set at 82 degrees C steadily while cruising,it would rise
to 90 degrees C when climbing hills, then settle back.......I lost a lot of
water (open system) while traveling hi speed and hi elevation and had to
refill constantly. Ambients both ways were near 100 degrees F. On the way
home, I stopped in Salt Lake City and bought a bottle of water wetter and put
the specified amount in with a H20 fill up......while roaring across the
desert near Bonneville, the temp was a steady 85 degrees C and would climb to
92 when ascending grades........so much for water wetter.....
Others however swear by this stuff!

BTW, my TA is powered by an BMC A series 1380 cc engine and cruises easily at
65 mph........the 5 speed helps too.......and the Morris 4.55/1 rear end!!
