The following is from:

   We recommend the use of Red Line Water Wetter for Gas and Diesel
vehicles used under heavy load
   condition, high ambient temperatures, and high performance
application.

   Red Line Water Wetter (liquid) is designed to provide improved metal
wetting when added to water glycol
   mixes.

   Water has twice the heat transfer capability when compared to 50%
glycol antifreeze/coolant in water.
   Red Line Water Wetter can reduce cooling system temperatures compared
to glycol solutions and even
   plain water. Water has excellent heat transfer properties in its
liquid state, but very high surface      tension makes it difficult to
release water vapor from the metal surfaces. Under heavy load
conditions,    much of the heat in the cylinder head is transferred by
localized boiling at hot spots, even through the       bulk of the
cooling solution is below the boiling point. Red Line Water Wetter
reduces the surface tension    of water by a factor of two, which means
that much smaller vapor bubbles will be formed. Vapor bubbles from
the metal surfaces create an insulating layer, which impedes heat
transfer. Releasing these vapor bubbles
   from the metal surfaces can improve the heat transfer properties in
this localized boiling region by as
   much as 15%.

   We recommend the use of RMI-25 cooling system treatments in addition
to Water Wetter.
   Radiator Masters Inc. Produces RMI-25 Cooling System Treatment, this
is another outstanding product from    the industrial marketplace.
RMI-25 restores the additive package to your antifreeze. RMI-25 is a
liquid    consisting of a pH Stabilizer for acid/alkaline balance, an
Oxygen Scavenger to prevent cavitation, erosion    and cylinder pitting.
A Lubricant for seals, hoses and water pumps. RMI-25 contains a cleaner
that breaks    down rust, scale and corrosive deposits. These deposits
are changed from solids to a soft floating harmless    gel-like
material. These dissolved solids will not recombine or form blockages in
the cooling system. After    a period of time the dissolved solids will
purge out of the system and into the coolant recovery tank.
   In the case of vehicles with coolant filters the dissolved materials
will trap in the filter. In a couple    weeks of driving a dirty system
will be nearly clean. This cleaning action is continuous when engine is
in    operation. Once clean metal status is reached an organic barrier
is then formed on the clean metal    preventing further contamination.
Water Conditioning is accomplished by a surfactant agent, improving
heat    transfer, making water a more efficient than coolant itself.

   When extreme use conditions are anticapted we suggest the addition of
Redline Water Wetter along with    RMI-25.

   RMI-25 contains no acids for cleaning system, only a gentle detergent
is used.

       Renews the additives in old antifreeze
       Improves engine cooling
       Cleans system like new
       Fortifies new antifreeze. Extends water pump life and cooling
system longevity
       Prevents liner pitting in diesels
       Use yearly or every 15,000 miles
