Hmm, no here. I have been in salt water reef/fish for many years and so far I have yet to find a distilled water that is free of TDS. This is nothing short of anything new here and go on any salt water forum and look around. 99.99% will say the same thing.
Distilled in theory is good but the end user does not know the distilling process etc.

Fill your engine with some of your analyzed cleaner than clean water. Run your engine for a couple of hours. take out some of the water and analyze it again. Let us know the results. Heck I can save you some time, just rub your finger on some of the interior cast iron cooling surfaces of an engine, and let us know the ppm on your finger.
Distilled water is more than good enough for my engines. Heck I wonder what the PPM's are on the diesel fuel, or the air going in the intake, or the crankcase oil after a couple of hours? )</font>
Testing on your finger is as good as the old saying, “ it looks good…”. Sure distilled water should be more then enough but for me why have something good when you can have something better. Again that is me here.

<font color="black"> #1 I cannot believe that grown adults sat here and argues over the purity of water that is going in a tractor's radiator.
#2 I cannot believe I sat here and read this and now I am commenting on it
#3 All that goofy testing on PPM of TDS in the water in your aquarium the only thing that you are going to get is CLEARER water the TDS in the distilled water are not going to hurt anything in your aquarium, Just to prove it I chalenge you to find out where the fish in your salt water tank came from and go test the water they were living it to begin with.
You don't even know what the TDS in the distilled water are as far as I can tell. all you know is there is SOMETHING in the water.
Come on get a grip and live in the real world here 37 parts per million of total disolved solids in a sample of water that is going in a dirty radiator who really needed to know all that?
If you are that particular about your fish aquarium then good for your fish, living in a nice TDS free environment.
