[QUOTE="habanero, post: 554889, member: 12443"] I'm not sure that's a great idea. First, I'm not entirely sure how much heat you'd really pick up. My guess is not a lot. When you're actually using hot water, the residence time in the radiator wouldn't be long. Second, I'd never run potable water through a radiator. First you'd need to be 100% sure there was no ethylene glycol left-not a simple task with all the tiny passages and such. Then, you'd have to be sure there was no lead soldier used in the construction. That's going to be tough to confirm unless it's a pretty new radiator. [/QUOTE]
