Recommended radiator fluid for street and sometimes strip use

Whatever you do i would get a radiator cap with a dingle berry hanging off it (its an anode).

 

That will work !
Ive also read someware having multiple grounds connected to the battery along with the big cable can accelerate electrolisis.

 

The electrolysis is caused by current flowing across dissimilar metals. I don't think the 12V charging system would impact this?

 

Indeed it can its voltage or current. It is the cause. Water conducts electricity, any device poorly gtrounded will increse the current in your water. An anode will attract that current. The better your grounded the less the current gets picked up by your water. But paying 1100 for alum rad with fans, and 1300 for heads, 500 timing cover, Im doing everything possible to not get eaten away.

 

The current is caused by the difference in the metal (just like a battery).
The water itself can promote oxidation (that's why we use distilled). The idea that there is some kind of charge from the electrical system promoting corrosion seems doubtful to me.

Also, distilled water does NOT conduct electricity, not that this is relevant.

Also by definition the Anode is the current injector.

 

All water conducts just some not as much I would think. You can have 2 different metals bolted together nothing will happen. Put them in a bucket of water normal corosion will happen. Add electrical charge to it if its aluminum and cast iron watch the aluminum disapiar.

 

Max is correct. The 12v electrical system is not the contributor to galvanic corrosion, and properly distilled water is electrically non-conductive (it's the impurities, in this case the lack thereof which makes the difference).

But true, galvanic corrosion due to mating of two metals some distance apart on the galvanic chart is much slower when the electrolyte presence is weak. So yes, it'll take off pretty aggressively in conductive, non-distilled water for sure.

It'll also keep happening, though much more slowly, just because of our atmosphere.
