What I'm saying is (And After looking back at the Z-Car racecar notes it 
happened ONCE there also.....  grrrrrrrrrr) that if you use water-wetter 
in a cooling system that has Phosphate free no-freeze in it you will get 
these ugly little balls of water-wetter that look just like oil in the 
coolant..... It's not fun seeing that in your expansion tank........  It 
seems to go away after a few months.  The other thing though is I have 
yet to see the claimed drop in temp using the expensive red juice....

My advice, Save yer money and yer heartache and skip the water-wetter

Later!
