just distilled + pt-nuke enough?

[ripken204]

i am out of pentosin g11.. and all the places that i can find that sell it dont open for a week..

so is it alright to use just distilled and pt-nuke?
the pentosin from the description is just an anti-corrisive but isnt that mainly when mixing metals?

also is there any downside to using like 10 drops of pt-nuke instead of the recommened 2-3?

It's fine to use just distilled and Pt-nuke. Best not to overdue it ... just a few drops like the instructions say should be fine.

I've ran just tap water and pt_nuke for months and all was fine, so yeah you should be good.

[Boogerlad]

if you aren't mixing metals, then you're fine, but if you are, you definatley need a corrosion inhibitor such as pentosin g11

why not tho? lol. i think that it would be better to use too much than too little. i just want to know what would happen if i did put too much in..

wow, my 1.5L of pentosin G11 for $8 is already here!! i wasnt expecting it for another week. it even came before my 8800gts 512mb! so i guess i will be using pentosin G11 in the loop. thanks for the info tho guys, you've been real helpful :)

What is the difference between G11 and G12 pentosin?
I use G12, since I have some left over from my car.

[ripken204]

g11 is blue and g12 is..purple?

finally got my loop rebuilt, case all cleaned out, and 8800gts 512mb G92 installed :)

i have soo much G11 now and i dont know what to do with it, lol

Is the G11 UV active standard, or does petra's add a UV agent to the fluid? All the places i've seen say just regular G11. Want to find out tomorrow because i'll be going to the VW dealer for some stuff for my TDI... while i'm there, i'd like to get a bottle of G11.

[ripken204]

let me know if you find out if it is UV reactive or not. i may want to add some UV later on.
