Some photographers (well, film developers) used a water wetter product to wash a film once it's been developed. It reduces the surface tension
of the the water, and apparently the same effect can be achieved with washing up liquid. I don't know if it will work for your application, but
it's an idea.

I was told you can use fabric softener but have not had the courage to try it. Surely washing up liquid would foam causing cavitation and many other
problems

Thats an old trick from marine engines to reduce corrosion I would advise against as it actually reduces heat transfer.

Ten quid vs cost of new engine. I know which one I would go for.

I used some dishwasher powder once to flush out the cooling system on a K series engine when everything else failed, not sure if it reduced the
surface tension of the water .
