not in many high milers tdis iv e stripped
im running an ex utility td5 110 though, so has had a hard life + i have no idea what they've done to it before hand so anything i can do to prolong parts life!
i use a 50/50 mix of AL39 -pussers coolant / distilled water (or boiled if at home) -same as the wolf, + i can still see the calciate if i spill some on the pipes + once the engine heat has boiled off the liquid.
its not the al39 chemicals left behind either -thats concentrated dark blue when reduced.
Boiling it still does not make it distilled , I understand your point and agree distilled water would be better, but boiling the water does not make it distilled ! If it makes u happy boil it, waste of electric though
well if youv got a still handy...... i dont, therefore i boil!
oh yeah, if filling from a hose pipe just dont forget to whack in a calgon tablet -apparently good for washing machines too....![]()
Dissolve it first in hot water, dont just ''whack it in'' as suggested.
I've ****ed in a generators coolant tank to keep it going before, my **** (and my mates) is probably still in it now!
:hysterically_laughiI once tried that with a mini but I was very young and stupid at the time, (now I'm old and stupid), and I had not let the engine/rad cool down and as I ****ed in the top of rad I got a face full of superheated ****. Not very nice but a good lesson!
