Ecomotive Gaskit permanently seals and repairs gasket and coolant leaks, including cracked, warped...Ecomotive Gaskit permanently seals and repairs gasket and coolant leaks, including cracked, warped, or blown head gaskets, cylinder and coolant leaks, leaking radiators, oil leaks, and engine blocks. Gaskit also provides anti-rust protection. The micro-fibre seal creates a powerful and permanent cover that withstands high temperatures and pressures. Compatible with all types of antifreeze and both alloy and steel heads. Once mixed with the coolant, the fluid remains suspended to easily flow throughout the system and fix problems, saving money on costly repairs. Contains a special UV ink designed to identify repairs under UV light.
The Ecomotive Gaskit is designed for vehicle owners experiencing gasket and coolant leaks, offering a permanent, DIY solution to costly repairs. It seals cracks, warps, and blows in head gaskets, engine blocks, radiators, and more, while also providing anti-rust protection. A potential drawback is the need for proper system flushing before application to ensure optimal performance.

FAQs
How long does the Ecomotive Gaskit seal last?
Ecomotive Gaskit is designed to provide a permanent seal. However, its longevity can depend on the severity of the original damage and overall engine operating conditions.
Can I use Ecomotive Gaskit if I don't know exactly where the leak is?
Yes, the suspended formula circulates throughout the cooling system, allowing it to reach and seal leaks wherever they occur.
What if my head gasket is completely blown?
Ecomotive Gaskit is most effective for minor to moderate gasket leaks, cracks, or warps. Severely blown head gaskets may require professional mechanical repair.
How much product do I need for my vehicle?
Refer to the product packaging for specific dosage instructions based on your vehicle's cooling system capacity.
Will this product clog my heater core or radiator?
If the cooling system is properly flushed before use, the risk of clogging is minimal. The product is designed to remain suspended and seal leaks, not to form blockages.
How can I tell if the repair is successful?
Monitor your coolant level and engine temperature. You can also use a UV light to detect the sealant in repaired areas, as it contains a special UV ink.
Is this product safe for all engine types?
Yes, it is compatible with all types of antifreeze and both alloy and steel heads, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicles.
Troubleshooting
Product did not seal the leak.
Ensure the cooling system was thoroughly flushed before application. Verify the leak is within the system's repairable range. Check that the engine was run for the full recommended duration to allow the product to circulate and seal.
Engine overheating persists after application.
The leak may be too severe for the Gaskit to seal, or there might be an additional underlying issue causing overheating. Check for other blockages or mechanical failures in the cooling system.
Cooling system appears cloudy or has sediment.
This could indicate residual debris from a poorly flushed system. A follow-up flush might be necessary. Monitor coolant condition closely.
UV light does not reveal any trace of the sealant.
The UV ink may not be visible on all surfaces or within deep cracks. Ensure you are using an appropriate UV light source in a dark environment and are inspecting the correct areas. The absence of visible ink does not necessarily mean the leak has not been sealed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Provides a permanent seal for various engine leaks.
Saves significant costs compared to professional repairs.
Offers additional anti-rust protection for the cooling system.
Compatible with all antifreeze types and common engine materials.
Easy to use for DIY mechanics.
Includes UV ink for repair verification.
Cons
Requires thorough system flushing before application for best results.
Effectiveness may vary depending on the severity and location of the leak.
Not a substitute for addressing underlying mechanical failures.
Requires engine to be run for a specific period after application.
Potential for clogging if the cooling system is heavily contaminated.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Flush the Cooling System: Before use, thoroughly flush the entire cooling system to remove old coolant, rust, and debris. This is critical for the Gaskit to effectively reach and seal leak points.
Mix the Product: Carefully mix the Ecomotive Gaskit according to the instructions on the product packaging. Ensure it is well-combined.
Add to Coolant: Pour the mixed Gaskit into the radiator or coolant reservoir.
Run the Engine: Start the engine and let it run at normal operating temperature for a specified period (refer to product instructions), ensuring the heater is on. This circulates the Gaskit throughout the system.
Compatibility:
Antifreeze: Compatible with all types of antifreeze (conventional, OAT, HOAT, etc.).
Engine Components: Works with both alloy and steel engine heads and blocks.
Care:
No specific long-term care is required for the Gaskit itself once applied. However, regular maintenance of the cooling system, including occasional coolant checks and flushes as per the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, is still advised.
