Hi,

Sorry, distilled water is water which is boiled, or otherwise evaporated, to vapor which is captured and recondensed into a liquid. All Minerals and other impurities are left behind in this process.

Leaving Tap Water sit for 24 Hrs. will de-Chlorinate it (the Chlorine will evaporate away), but hard minerals like Calcium, Lime, and Metals will remain and you don't want these in your cooling system...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
