Plus you can buy even better stuff from Edmund Scientific for a
teeny fraction of the price. Main use is in commercial water
systems where it can cut the cost of pumping considerably. Can
also increase the range of fire hoses, sometimes used in tanker
trucks.

As long as you drain it after every run and don't leave it in the
engine, and never run the engine for very long. Water, at engine
temperatures, is quite corrosive to pretty much all of the metals
used in engines. Steam is even worse. There are mineral based
corrosion inhibitors available that not only raise the boiling
temperature, but have no negative effect on heat transfer...and
are used as mineral based antifreeze.
