Well, now, @stevesnj, you are partially correct in that deionized or demineralized water can be used in our car's cooling systems.

However, it's my understanding that since distilled water does not contain any inorganic compounds, it too may be used in the cooling system.

Yes, distilled water may contain some organic compounds, if they have a similar boiling point to that of water. However, the deionization process typically does not remove any organics.

Like ol @Ultramaroon was eluding to ....... I don't think the cooling system in the FA20 engine gives a rip whether the water has been distilled or demineralized or deionized ..........
