[Vwdiesel] More on radiator as a battery (weekend science thread)

[paulr]

Yup, you're right. Voltage between radiator and vehicle chassis was the
original topic.  "Find and break that circuit, and apply anti-corrosion
voltage."

But the "circuit" isn't s'posed to be there.  Remember it now. Someone
already said that last weekend. Alum. stuff is s'posed to be on plastic
or rubber mounts.

Wonder if an incompatible third party part in a cooling system system, such
as a copper tube and (metal-mounted) temperature guage could do that?

Tired today -- not thinking clearly. Sorry for the waste of list.bandwidth.
