A test would tell all. You'd really need to test it, if you're not going to have an available adjustment in the final circuit.
Don't let this deter you from using distilled water: it's more important to have distilled water, than to measure the level.

One of the engineer guys suggested I re-visit the infra-red thing. He's gonna rig up a test jig for me that will have an emitter/receiver pair on it, and we'll pass a partially filled lucite reservoir (distilled water and hyperlube mixture) through the beam to see what happens.
He also suggested a conductance coil with a donut float in the reservoir (would amost need to be a round reservoir as well).
Lots of fun things to experiment with.
