Freezing temp of distilled water and Water Wetter???
Using straight Watter Wetter and Distilled in the intercooler system right now and it's starting to drop below freezing.

Car is only taken out bout once/twice a week and only when completely dry in the winter.

Anyone know how much (if any) Water Wetter reduces freezing point?

Thanks guys!

in high concentrations it can reduce freezing point but not at recommended concentrations. i would definitely add about 30% antifreeze in sub freezing climates.

According to Red Line, when ambient temperatures drop below freezing an antifreeze must be used.
