I haven't done so, but then I haven't had my fluid boil over more than the one time when it was 98 degrees out. Dave Andrews Black&Tan 2000 SVT 225 of 2150 Bassani..

If this is the cause, then a PS cooler wouldn't help at all because it's not heat I'm trying to battle, but foaming of the fluid due to agitation, correct? What would cure frothing?
