electrolysis protection... #1 make sure you are running anti corrosives. This could mean running 50-60% antifreeze/coolant. Higher than 70% is not recommended. Reducing the number of different types of metals will also reduce electrolysis.

The worst thing you could do is have 100% distilled water in an engine with an iron block and aluminum heads, intake, brass radiator maybe copper heater core, all the different metals in the bath of heated conducting fluid would promote metal loss on the least noble metal


if you go through them that often then it is very possible you have a short. Check for current in your coolant (hah that sounds weird) if you do then disconnect fuses etc until the meter shows acceptable values then you would know the faulty circuit: check TSB for specs
I know what the prob is as well I'm very well versed in troubleshooting and have only ever used a 50/50 mix........I just didn't elaborate on the issue, , 1st one was the original one= age ......2nd one a solder joint on the core broke and balloned the fin, I was drag racing it alot at the time and should of had a restrictor in it, the third, my guess is electrolisis promoted by the bad ALT, a FEW MONTHS BACK i HAD IT ON MY VAT 40 and the AC ripple current was excessive..........I've just been to busy to even mess with it, but looks as if the car may be sold soon
