Default Bart, anti-freeze and drinking water - smart to disassociate?

How many here have a hot water heater that works with

the
engine's coolant system as a heat source?

I do, but I don't drink the hot water. Would washing

dishes
and showering with it be a problem? If there were a

leak,
wouldn't you soon discover it when your engine water

gets
low?


Scotty,
It's like having a non-smoking section in a one room

house.
If something were to leak into the hot water, it's in your

fresh water
system.



yes, I realize that BUT would it be harmful if you didn't
drink it. I don't drink the water from my water tank. I
bring water from home, in jugs.

I don't trust those built in water tanks either. I bring those 5 gallon
igloo jugs.
