I am currently experimenting with antifreeze/wetter/dyelight, and thought you might like to hear what I have found. Both me and DigitalChaos, have been using systems with just distilled and wetter in them, and while we have not experienced corrosion, we both have got something that appears to be organic in nature living in our rigs.
Now neither one of us have tested the stuff (because we dont know how), but DC has added H2O2 to his "stuff", and it bubbled away. his used 4 oz. of wetter per gallon, and I used 2 oz..
I do not know of the metal composition of his rig, but mine ony has brass and copper exposed to the coolant in the system, and no aparent corrosion on the metals in either.
I have recently added 2 oz. of Prestone antifreeze (not the extended life variety) to the mix, and I am watching it closely.

I also have dyelite in my system I started with the blue that caseetc. uses (may not be actual dyelight brand) and found its UV presence to be lacking, so I have added green to the mix. Much better!I now have a whitish green that is serving me well.
