so im getting my bike ready for my first track day, that will be happening in 2 weeks from today....

i need to get rid of the glycol coolant as per the organizer's rules (and thats just fine with me)!

my only problem is... how much water wetter should i add per OZ or QT or GAL of water or whatever in order to get the correct cooling effect???

i checked the label, their website, did a (not very in depth)google search, and did a search on this forum, but didnt find anything saying what ratio i should mix it at.

Here's an excerpt from their white paper:

USE DIRECTIONS
One 12 ounce bottle treats 12-16 quarts of water or a
50% ethylene or propylene glycol solution. In smaller
cooling systems, use 4-5 caps per quart. Add directly
through the cooling system fill cap into the radiator or
into the overflow tank. Do not open a cooling system
while hot. For best protection for aluminum, replenish
or replace every 15,000 miles. The anti-scaling ingredients
in Red Line WaterWetter® allow its use with
ordinary tap water. However, using with distilled or
deionized water will accomplish some scale removal
in the cylinder head area. Plain water with or without
WaterWetter® should not be used in cooling systems
containing magnesium - antifreeze should be used -
with WaterWetter®. For maximum temperature
reductions use the most water and the least
antifreeze possible to prevent freezing in your climate.
Even in summertime the use of air-conditioning
can blow freezing air through the heater and cause
freezing of the heater core unless approximately 20%
antifreeze is used. Red Line WaterWetter® is available
in 12 ounce containers.
