RE: Red Line Water Wetter

[Matt Knowles <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was only half right. This is from the bottle itself:

Can be used with 100% water in racing does not protect magnesium or alter
freezing point.

So while it is ok to use with aluminum, it is not ok to use it just by
itself for magnesium. I know the Triumph uses some magnesium parts, so my
recommendation stands, it's not worth using except for racing situations
when you are required to run without anti-freeze.
