Truly pure H2O (Molar) is one hell of a solvent and actually dangerous to
drink for exactly that reason. Bottled distilled water isn't that pure, it
just has most of the minerals removed. I use it all the time for both the
battery and radiator.
Here is what my radiator (and fluid) looked like at 112,000 miles. Last
drain was back at 50,000 miles.

Clean, green, and within spec so I reused it. (less the pint or so
that spilled all over me getting the radiator out) :)

Re: Overheating CJ7, the story so far
Hi Doug,
Is Molar what they call heavy water, if so loaded about three
thousand gallons into a five thousand gallon tank that would normally
weigh in at less then eighty thousand pounds full, that weighed nighty.
Thank God, the scale inspector while checking my paper work, wave me
through around the scales. He most have took pity on me watching me try
to get the load started, my tractor would come off the ground about four
feet, and slammed to the ground, three of four times before I could get
to moving. I was just ignorant, I didn't purposely overload:

Change your coolant every two years, as the Prestone container
says, something happens to it.

Basically Molar == 100% pure or undiluted/uncontaminated. Heavy water
is a different chemical than basic water.
Water = H2O (Two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom)
Heavy Water = D2O (Two Deuterium atoms and one Oxygen atom)
Just to make things more funner.
Deuterium is a form of Hydrogen that sports one extra neutron
FWIW, add another neutron to Deuterium and you get Tritium.
All of which are present in your basic sea water but in very limited
quantity compared to H2O.
It's called Heavy Water because it is. :) Of course you found that out anyway.
Those pesky little neutrons add up.
