$1000 Coolant Change Part 2 The Answer

[CalG]

You have 40 yr old batteries in your vehicles?

Where did the batteries come in regard to the referenced comment?

Reading with a closed mind.... This is a "coolant" thread.

I'm waiting for the OP to report on the reply from the anti freeze maker like he said he would ;-)

Same here. Never an issue

??/ i never said batteries anywheres in my post. i said radiator.

So how are you testing your tap water batteries compared to distilled water batteries ? I assume you must have analysis of a quantitative sample of batteries under otherwise identical service . Then preform quarterly tests of CCA , amp hours and service life?
We also need a definition of "tap water" as it varies around the world.

[grsthegreat]

Anybody that uses tap water instead of distilled water in a coolant system . Is just out and out asking for trouble.

We are responding to your post about cooling systems.
Not batteries.

If you care to note. I spoke of cooling systems at 03:26 and it was Skyhook at 09:10 started the battery topic at 09:10 .
Just how did you complainers miss that point ?
