yes there would be. Distilled water is good because it is pretty inert, more so than regualar water, because regualr water has ions in it (like magnesium, chlorine) which could eventually cause corrosion...Also, using pure antifreeze would corrode everything in the cooling system, because it too is highly corrosive. I hope someone can help me here, but i think you can add something to the antifreeze to make it less corrosive. Btw, the antifreeze should be added to distilled water to actually make the transfer of heat better. Also, there is a product called water wetter which raises the heat transfer capacity of water. I haven't used the stuff, but it doesn't look all that bad to try. Also, distilled water is the best stuff to use because it has a high heat capacity, which means it takes a lot of energy to make it hot. There is only one other naturally occuring substance (translation: cheap to buy) that has a higher heat capacity than water and thats ammonia, which should not be used because a) it smells and b) its a gas. Stick with distilled water, at least as a base substance.
dislaimer: im new to this stuff so if im wrong, just correct me.
