I haven't used it, and not sure if I would...

Their solution is to run 100% Propylene Glycol to eliminate boil-over. It makes no effort to REDUCE operating temperatures.

It doesn't SOLVE an overheating issue, only masks it by raising the boil point.

If water boils at about 226oF and this is already happening, you KNOW the engine is running too hot. Now you replace with a product that has a higher boil point, and you're allowing your system to run at this higher temperature.

I'd rather have the cooling system spit out some coolant at 225-230oF so that I KNOW it's running too hot...rather than allow it to run hotter and possible be damaging something without any clue.

How would you ever know if the impeller fails? Once the Evans spits out....it's already over 350oF!!

I don't know how comfortable I would be putting that in my bike.
