Gumamit lang ako ng distilled water nung nagpalit na ako ng coolant. Nang masira ang radiator cap ko, saka lang ako nagdagdag ng tubig at distilled water ang ginamit ko para walang contamination ng minerals. You will notice a big difference sa radiator na gumagamit ng tap water at radiator na gumagamit ng distilled water. Para sa bagong linis na radiator(through flushing or overhaul), it would be better to start right by using distilled water. Less problems pa in the future in terms of maintenance kasi naiiwasan ang pagbabara ng radiator. If a person finds it more convenient to use tap water, I suggest he puts a coolant that contains rust inhibitors to prevent clogging(rust and minerals) and have a better cooling system at the same time. :wink:
Tama si Chieffy... P40 lang 5 gallons ng distilled and you use less than 2 gallons for a typical radiator... kahit anong kanto ngayon may distilled water refilling or a sari-sari that sells it... it's no excuse of using tap water anymore...
