Default Waterless coolant

Does anyone use Evans (or any other) waterless coolant. Is it any good for a model A? How well does it work? I'm interested because of the corrosion protection it might give to the model A cooling system.

Some people use it because it has a higher boiling point than antifreeze. I don't know what advantage it would be unless your cooling system is marginal.

I use it. No water = no rust. I do have a pressurized, closed cooling system.

Do you add water pump lubricant ?

No. I use a leakless pump. No lubrication necessary as coolant never touches the bearings.
