G,
Pardon, me as this is speculation and I bring this up purely as a curious thought. Using demineralized water as a base for mixing with your anti-freeze brings up a question. The demineralized water will be looking to leach out minerals and iron from the radiator and block ect.. which could cause a premature failure some where. Would good quality filtered tap water be a better source( non - chlorinated )? I expect in such a small circuit it realy wouldn't make a difference. At work we had water bath propane vaporizer with about 15,000 gallons of water in it. We used a glycol mixture in and we lost the tube bundle and had to retube it. The warrenty was void due to the use of Demineralized water in the original fill of the unit. The manufacturer blamed the failure on the leaching of the copper tube bundles. This just a thought, I am curios as to other peoples thoughts? Please don't think I am being critical I don't want that.

WJW: I think I will have to agree with G. Taylor and use the demineralized water. When water is heated to or above 120 degrees F (I think this is the correct temperature) the dissolved minerals in the water start to separate out. Then when the radiator cools there is a difference in temperature between the water and the radiator tubes, the tubes being cooler than the water. The dissolved minerals collect on the cooler tubes and over a long period of time the radiator tubes develope a scale of these minerals. Naturally this will cut down on the radiator's cooling efficiency.
