I don't understand the extra radiator and fuel cell thing d16. What does that do?

Yeah d16... Since we are all quote "assholes" maybe you can let us all in on this ingenious cooling solution :)

am i being made fun of if im prepping dirt right here as we speak???

Hey i'm not poking fun of anyone for using the dirt. like I said I've used it before and it had good cooling results. It's not like the stuff burns or boils, it stay's cool enough so that the internal temperatures of the center section stay right about where they should. can't make fun of that.

Coolant as in ethylene glycol (green sweet stuff that kills kitties)?

Just so you know, pure water has MUCH better heat displacement than coolant. You only put coolant in to raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point. So, running more coolant than water is worse than straight water.

Did you read what you wrote?

You say water is better for heat displacement but you need to add the glycol to make it even better.So how is water better than coolant again? ::)


Steve ,I was joking ;).That water contraption is non-existant!

Alright, then how about the freon, freezing cold air

leaky freon tastes great
