Reducing the surface tension of water has some advantages but is not the whole story. In fact your dishwashing detergent will dramatically reduce the surface tension of water. Want to put it in your old Chevy radiator? How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

I usually try searching, but didn't this time. I can only hope others benefitted from revisiting this topic Thanks Michael P.S. I guess i will stick with coolant
