Only half joking.
Normal coolant is G13 diluted 50% with demineralised water.

I changed the water pump in my Boxster. It takes 15 litres of coolant. I mixed concentrate with tap water. It hasn't died yet ?

With mine, it turned out that my rubbish cap was hiding a slowly failing water pump. I ended up having to top up before every journey and by the time I got her to the garage, she was properly weeing herself. A new water pump and cambelt done at the same time and she has been fine sinceI had the warning light come on today so pulled the bonnet and topped it up. Took about 400ml to bring it to max after 115 miles. I did notice a white deposit starting at the small top hose closest to the cap and running down the tank. Could be that hose isn't sealed properly. The hose is nice and soft, in fact all the hoses look new. Hope I haven't bought a problem car. The tank looks quite old though. Might just get a new tank. They aren't expensive. I ordered a new cap today but when I removed the cap just after I got home it was sealed and the tank was holding pressure. Let out a good hiss when I undid the cap half way

Well erm, no you can’t..That's one thing I can rule out. She had a new water pump and cam belt in 2017
