Default Re: Leave engine/radiator empty?

Just to expand on this a little, If you have a de-humidifier, save the water. The water is condensate pulled from the air, essentially it's distilled water, great for batteries, cooling systems etc.

Also, often heard people who only drink pure rain water have far less possibilities of developing kidney stones ..... but, most people never listen ..... they pour well water in their Model A radiators and wonder why their Model A cooling systems develop mineral type kidney stones. LOL
