Andrewh, Instead of addressing the conductivity of distilled water vs non distilled water.

How about addressing your thoughts on the 12 volts in the water/coolant system.


Further, it takes very little to make distilled water conductive. Simply filling it into a cast iron block with its contaniments is enough to make it conductive again.

To me its not a arguement about the coolants conductivity. Its about the alleged 12 Volts in the coolant! mike




You guys may not be familiar with Andrewh's background with water, chemistry, and cooling systems. Let's just say his training and experience far outweigh what most people on this board have experienced.

The contaminated cooling system needs to be drained completely (block drains and heater too) and flushed extensively. After that, a refill with distilled water and good coolant should cure the problem for a while. The coolant would slow down the corrosion growing in the system.
They should not have measured 12 volts in the cooling system unless they were pulling some sort of scam.
