What kind of coolant do you use for your water cooled TIG torch? Will automotive coolant work? (the regular ethylene glycol fluorescent yellow kind or the long life orange/pink propylene glycol type?) The Miller branded coolant is $25-30/gallon and they offer a regular and a "low conductivity" type.
Does anyone what the difference is between all these types and whether the Milller specialty is any different than automotive coolant? In my location, I don't need freeze protection so that's not a consideration.
The only coolant related problems I can think of is the coolant being too electrically conductive and bleeding off the HF start voltage and/or the the coolant forming deposits or precipitates blocking the water passages.
