I didn't know that distilled water had such a low freezing point. Is that because the water is filtered and there are few particulates (impurities) in the water that can allow the water to crystalize? Much like rain in which H20 needs a particulate (impurity) to adhere to so a water droplet can form in the air?

Getting a little off subject here, I know, but this kind of stuff is facinating to me, haha.

My background is in molecular biology, so stuff on the molecular scale excites me. :)

Never been to Minnesota but understand it is a beautiful state.
Was not aware the laws of physics were suspended there,water freezes at 32 degrees fahrenheit everywhere else.

The information you need on this can be found
at the following link:

Good luck with the testing.

Hey JCM_MN... thanks for your order!! It's amazing you only live 10 Min. from me!...small world with the internet ehhh?... I can't wait till you go from 32 mpg highway to the mid 40's!!...Don't forget we may need to tweek it with the controller to get the max out of it, but we will "GET ER DONE" as they say down in Arkansas!!...and now Minnesota!...On a 2000 prism you may need to burn out some of the carbon build up out and that may take 3 or 4 days.....When the hydrogen mixes with your gas it will begin to produce close to a 100% burn and that will start burning that old carbon build up out! So Out with the old and in with the new as they say!!... and by the way: GO VIKES!!..PACK & BEARS SUCK!..LC

Distilled water is PURE WATER and has a freezing point of ZERO
degrees Centigrade or 32 Fahrenheit. The addition of an anti-freeze compound (ethylene glycol or propylene glycol) may
not interfere with the electrolysis process and allow operation
down to -40 F (or thereabout). Also, the water reservoir may
be a very small vessel (less than 1 gallon) so it would be easy
to insulate or heat above freezing with a small heater operating
off the battery (when engine is not running) or battery charger (when running)
