Mike,
did you happen to contact the technical people at Redline to ask if this
product is recommended for Vanagons?
What is the product? Is it a surfactant? If so, I would wonder what effect
it might have on seals... i.e. could this wetter water be so wet that it
seeps out of the system in some places? And what effect if might have on old
rubber hoses?
