Re: [Chrysler300] WATER,WATER EVERYWHERE

[Bill Huff <czbill@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gerald,

I too have read not to use distilled water.  As I remember, the 
reason given was that since it has no minerals in it, it wants to 
leach minerals from it's surroundings.  In the case of one's 
radiator, that would be lead solder and other softer metals.  That 
may be where solder bloom comes from.  The article recommended tap 
water or bottled drinking water I believe.  Don't know if it is true 
or not, but I never used distilled water and never had a problem, but 
then we always had good tasting drinking water.  Maybe some of that 
West Texas water might not be the best.  :-P
