wouldnt your water only vaporize if your temps got about 212*F? but what if you just added a littlebit of coolant? i thought water had a higher specific heat than coolant, coolant just froze at a lower temp (antifreeze)

The Orange crap does gunk up i've personally had this crap gunk up my engine in my work van and i've had it destroy a radiator and damn near the whole cooling system in another truck.

I bought some kind of stuff a month and a half ago that is supposed to be compatible with all engines whether they use green or orange...supposedly with this stuff in my radiator i can run either one with no problems. been running green since then with no problems.
