All correct, Paul. Water Wetter is a rust inhibitor. I was suggesting that
the original poster use plain water with water wetter in the summer months to
see if it lowers the operating temp.
Go to www.redlineoil.com for more on Water Wetter. (BTW, it is Frank C. who
recommends dishwashing liquid in place of Water Wetter, staying in the "We
Tight" theme.)
