Possible water source
While I was emptying my condenser tumble dryer I thought "I wonder if the water would be any good for engines?"
It has been turned to steam then condensed so should be purer than tap water but it does smell of conditioner. Any thoughts?

There was a long and quite bitter argument about defining the purity of the water used in Spitfire cooling systems. In the end Ernest Hives cut through it all and wrote simply that it should be drinkable.
Have you tasted tumble drier condensate? It's horrible, really really nasty. It has still got lots of conditioner and detergent in it. It is not strictly distilled as the steam from the drier is still largely "wet steam"; it contains minute droplets of water, which carry over anything dissolved in it. So at best it is tap water plus a lot of other things.
So I use rainwater. It comes out of the butt crystal clear, I don't even filter it.
