well, ok, i get the fact that it runs at very low pressure, but the pressure
has minimal effect on the heat capacity of the water / glycol / whatever.

mmm waffles.

can you give me some oil timp figures? (im assuming you have the gauge).

my hunch was that the gains from killing the boiling would be offset by the
higher running temps. you appear to have running proof to the contrary.

it does... i'm starting to want to swing towards using this stuff.

p.s. how much does this stuff cost, anyhow?
