Why?

Mine is fine and has been in it for over a year and a half. I've taken it out quite a few times.

Gents, The protection you need to minmize electrolysis is ensure all of your grounds are well established on the chassis and each electrical consumer is properly grounded . If the radiator is being used as the path to GROUND, the current or potential (voltage) can be checked in the coolant. I went to Griffin's Radiator web site and found this helpful how-to. Dont just guess if electrolysis is an issue for you, measure it, this method works from experience. Here is the link below.

Holy smoke!, after reading this thread, I had no idea that moon mission engineering was part of my build.
