de-ionised water = distilled water = eau déminéralisée ?

Hi,

Distilled water is not de-ionised water. But you can use what you bought no problem. Just mix with the correct amount of anti-freeze.

BR,

Distilled water is rare and expensive (all that energy to boil). Demin is cheap - just pass down an ion exchange column (re-generable) and remove all the ions. Not much difference between them. Why use distilled for coolant? (pure distilled tends to dissolve a lot of things to some extent, which is why it's hard to store) What's wrong with plain tap? One should never use just water anyway, but always run with antifreeze mix - as that has all the corrosion inhibitors in it.

Limescale buildup - something the anti-freeze cant stop IIRC. But then i use tap water as im cheap and drop fluids regularly.

If you know anyone who works in a power station ask them to get you a few gallons from the water treatment plant. I used to work in one and used it for years. Sold it by the gallon for a while until I was caught on!

Limescale! Only if you are using *gallons* of water. One would assume that the mix stays in the engine - there's only so much hardness, it can't keep making scale.

Also depends where you live - we never have problems at home with limescale so our water might be ok for an engine. In Derbyshire our kettle needed descaling every other week as there was so much lime in the water!

Yes, but you don't fill the car as often as a kettle. I never had any problems in Essex (water hard as nails!) - even when I took the engines apart in my misspent youth...

What about using the condensed water from the cloth dryer ? Has somebody any experience on that ?

I suppose you could distill that to remove the lint...

As long as it is lint-free, should be fine. When I was growing up, we had a dehumidifier in the basement, and used the condensate for several such things--steam for clothes iron, car radiator, etc.

Easy for you to say!

Comment dit-on en Français "cross-post"?

no, it 's not easy to say, when I post on an english or american news group l try to speak english , i don't speak very well but I try, and " croos post "in french seem to be " messages croisés " :=) Eric

my english language cross post into the fr. domain was not meant to be disrespectful to any language. just that i would have appreciated some french expertise on the meaning of eau d=E9min=E9ralis=E9e. even though i wrote my message in english, the subject was bi lingual and was enough to understand my question.
