crbanshee Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 can i mix it with some antifreeze too dont run watter wetter with anything other than water. anitfreeze or other additives make it get all weird and chunky in the radiator... i use watter wetter in my truck and bike and i noticed that when mixed with anything other than sraight water it ends up with some weird reaction and soon you have a bounch of chunky stuff floating around the cooling system it looks like small chuncks of poopie floating in the radiator...

FireHead Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 dont run watter wetter with anything other than water. anitfreeze or other additives make it get all weird and chunky in the radiator Weird and chunky in the OEM Banshee radiator = tap water use or leaky head gasket. I suppose you could have used coolant that already had chunky stuff in it, but I didn't think they sold that anywhere besides Japan (small joke). :ermm: Quote
Bansh-eman Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 that chunky stuff you are referring to is all the minerals and metals in the water that are collecting together and making that junk... thats why you dont use any water other then distilled water... it has no metals or minerals in it... just water...

I have some chunky stuff you might like to look at. Would you like me to send it to you? I'll put some belly button lint in there as well, maybe you can figure out where that comes from. :yelrotflmao: :yelrotflmao: Quote

Dark Ranger Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 Sounds like some latent homosexuality talking to me. :ohmy: From Wikipedia: Distilled water is water that has virtually all of its impurities removed through distillation (boiling the water and re-condensing the steam into a clean container, leaving contaminants behind). Deionized water (DI water or de-ionized water; also spelled deionised water, see spelling differences) is water that lacks ions, such as cations from sodium, calcium, iron, copper and anions such as chloride and bromide. This means it has been purified from all other ions except H3O+ and OH?, but it may still contain other non-ionic types of impurities such as organic compounds. This type of water is produced using an ion exchange process. Deionized water is similar to distilled water, in that it is useful for scientific experiments where the presence of impurities may be undesirable. BTW, what do you have against bananas? Quote
Bansh-eman Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 so both should work... looks like distilled just has less impurities Quote
Dark Ranger Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 get 2 gallons of distilled water... like fire said pull the hoses and drian the fluids... then use the first gallon of distilled water to flush your system out... mix the other gallon up.... make sure you read the instruction on how muc to mix... you dont have you use very much.... then pour it in.... I have also read that it is good to flush the system with white vinegar by running for a few minutes with the vinegar after draining the original coolant to dissolve any buildup in the cooling system and then flush with distilled water before adding the new coolant.

FireHead Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 Mark, you sure you didnt move to san francisco? you sound like a GAY!!! There are a bunch of those types of people in San Diego as well, though they do not seem to be allowed to leave the downtown area. San Fransisco was on my list of places to go on the vacation I could never seem to take when I lived in SoCal. Quote

Flushing the system is probably a good thing. I would just use tap water though. I have heard the vinegar thing, but I think it might be an urban legend. I have never seen anyone do it nor have I heard about it from anyone who deals with engines for a living. The people I have heard it from were usually less than mechanically inclined and didn't work on their vehicles themselves for the most part. :thumbsup: Quote
Dark Ranger Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 The idea with the vinegar is that it works under the same principle as cleaning a coffee maker or a steam vaporizor. The vinegar breaks down the deposits that have formed from the water running through it. Check out the following link for some more uses of vinegar. http://home.howstuffworks.com/uses-for-vin...ur-house-ga.htm Quote
Bansh-eman Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 im not sure if this actually works... i have heard it before but like mark said i havent nor has anyone i known done it... to me the vineger doesnt seem to have enough acidic properties to really lossen much up... im sure theres some industrial shit you can buy but fo the most part... the distilled water flushing isnt to lossen any gunk.. its simply to remove any other chemicals tht mgith be inside your water jackets and ligering on your radiator blades...
