Water boils at 212 Degrees Farenheit. Most coolants like Prestone boil at 245 Degres Farenheit so JUST plain water is NEVER EVER best...use just water and your car would overheat frequently and blow head gaskets,etc. Tap Water> Should NEVER EVER be used>it will RUIN your cooling system by cuasing corrosion/electrolysis as the minerals in tap water react.Distilled is ALWAYS better ;-) WATERLESS Coolants are BEST> "superior cooling protection for all gasoline and light duty diesel engines, including marine and light aircraft. In conditions ranging from -40˚ to 375˚F. High Performance Coolant provides cooling protection through constant liquid coolant contact with engine metals.
