I hope you use some type of water pump lub and anti corrosive additive with your distilled water.

Radiator Water was created by 1748 S
So I was reading something about Josh Malks asking questions some time back bout a 3 or 4 inch radiator core making more or less heat transfer because of the thickness. Very interseting information too. Well I didn't read anything about running only steam distilled water. Its non conductive and there are no minerals that will drop out of it when the water heats up. I have read plenty about well water around the country ruining radiator with the mineral drop out. I had this happen in my new Ford diesel radiator I had to buy on the road once in Oklahoma City during a horse show some 15 years ago. I refilled with "that county water" and quality coolant. A very short time later I found the minerals dropping out and ruining my new radiator. Couldn't even pass the rods thru the turbes it was so bad.. Since finding this information about distilled water I run that in all my cars or pick up trucks. Has anyone else run distilled water in these Cords. I concider myself lucky to have 2 original honey comb radiators for use.
