Surficial anodes in the cooling system (again)!

I read the no-rosion article that Pete posted. Within it there is an external link discussing antifreeze. I had just replaced mine and read the article post change. This confirmed that the green type that I used, Walmart packaged, was the correct pick without silicates and with a life of 5 years claimed. The article also said that just the color is no guarantee of the mixture :-(

Since the very last flatheads were produced in France in the late 1980's, any flathead ever made would require IAT type antifreeze.

I do have one question about the table you posted : Why would a Tesla need antifreeze?
 
AI/SI says:
"Yes, a Tesla needs antifreeze, though it is used differently than in a gasoline car. Instead of cooling an internal combustion engine, Tesla uses a specialized coolant (antifreeze) to manage the temperature of the high-voltage battery pack, the drive units (motors), and the power electronics.
This coolant prevents the battery from overheating during fast charging or spirited driving and keeps it warm enough to operate efficiently in freezing temperatures. Because the coolant can degrade over time or leak, Tesla specifies maintenance intervals for coolant replacement or topping off, depending on the specific model and year."


"A specific type of coolant, such as G48 or HTF-LS, to maintain their thermal performance and protect the vehicle's components. Using the correct coolant is essential to avoid voiding the warranty and ensuring the vehicle operates efficiently."

Me as well. I always highly recommend their products.

I think that there is an entirely different principle at work. I tried to check it out, but CHROME said this about the link you posted :

Why are you posting on this thread anyway?

I think it is interesting that makers of boat outdrives include sacrificial anodes attached below the water line. External verses internal systems.

That is usually used in salt water due to galvanic corrosion due to dissimilar metals in salt water, which is a very good electrolyte. It also protects from stray current corrosion in marinas with lots of boats plugged into shore power, some which may have dodgy electrical systems. In fresh water it is more for the protection in marinas.

What are you talking about? I was responding to someone's comment.

I sent you a DM to keep this off line.
