Yes. After my call, they contacted the retailer and authorized the refund. The retailer credited my charge card. No hassle.


As far as I know, the glass only forms when the liquid comes in contact with air. So best for coolant leaks to the outside of the engine, not so much for internal, liquid to liquid, leaks.

The fusing to the water flow passages was real on several engines. Again it was a favorite trick of used car dealers. So the amount put into the system is open to real questioning. This was also years ago. It actually looked like a very even and nice glass type coating on the water passages.

Barr's Leak has walnut shell or some other stuff. I would only use it in an emergency. I have tired Blue Devil on a Neon. It slowed down the leak. I did put on a new gasket. I did not replace the torque to yield head bolts. There are the ceramic sealers. Haven't tried them. I think you have to remove radiator fluid, flush, then run the stuff with a mixture, then remove and refill.
