OZ Distilled water would be far worse in the corrosion stats . As it's been depleted of is mineral content all it want to do is get them back , that's why it's know as the universal solvent . Also do not drink it it will leach the minerals from gut . It is a insulator as far as electricity is concerned ,they use it to wash down live HV glass insulators. David why not use nest antifreeze as a coolant it has inhibitors in it to prevent corrosion Great build Stuart |

Thanks for all your comments Chaps! :beer: Stuart. I used Bluecol top up mix, in my Robinson engine. It rusted, immediately! :bang: The O ring idea, didn't work. Leaked, again........ :bang: :bang: So, I filled the groove with Hylomar. Then wrapped around with thick cotton. To fill the groove a little proud. Then applied more Hylomar, once it was through the first bore, before entering it into the rear one. It worked........ Now, using coolant mix, at 10/1. No rust, so far........ Well........ It's finally finished! The sun was shining too brightly for the camera. The actual colour is Ford burgundy...... The duck, is in there, somewhere. The wind was a nuisance, too.......
