: Wayne,
: Safe Brands Corporation produces a propylene glycol product called Sierra. You can call up their web page and find out where to get this product. There is no mention on their web page about its foaming characteritics. In fact, I just sent them an e mail asking that very question.
: Dave.
Wayne and Dave,
I was having problems with foaming when I ran anti-freeze.This summer (after replacing two head gaskets, new water pump tring to stop foaming) I replaced the anti-freeze with SIERRA.Works great, no foam at all.The engine runs a little hotter than it did with just water or Prestone, but my '28 stayed under 160 all summer long (maybe to cool!).
I know Wayne has been looking for a fix for this problem for a while, saw your posting in the archives.
