electrolysis ??

I'm going tomorrow to look at 2 MH's one a gasser one a pusher, the pusher is a 1997 with a 275 cat.. 100k miles.. how do I check for electrolysis in the cat or is this a non issue? thanks!
  • Back in the 70's Catapillar was selling these tiny colored beads (they came in a tube) at the Cat House and it was used to retard electrolysis. I also had a friend (in Forks, WA.) and Gene would put nothing in the radiator except pure rain water! He had barrels under every down spout around his house. None of his Cat Motors experienced electrolysis.
