Default Evans waterless engine coolant

Has anyone used this coolant in their A? Especially after a newer engine and radiator restoration?


I think Jay Leno uses this???

Jay Leno has lotsa money... I think a few on Ford Barn has tried it. There was a thread in the past. Green anti-freeze is good enough for me.

It is expensive and I don't see the advantage in using it. My car came with this in it and I drained it out and sold it. The person who bought it said that his car got hot after shutting down the motor and so the higher temperature boiling point of Evans was something he was looking for.

The appeal of Evans for Leno is that he has a bazillion cars and it's worth it not to have to change the coolant in them or worry about corrosion.
