Yes. The purpose of anti-freeze/coolant in twofold. It keeps the coolant from freezing and keeps the engine coolant from boiling over. Modern engines run at temperatures above the boiling point of water. Anti-freeze helps raise the boiling point above 212 degrees thus preventing overheating. Always add a 50/50 mix of the correct anti-freeze for your application and distilled water. Never use tap water and never run an engine without anti-freeze.

Take it out of the ice chest. A plastic insulated cooler can be used to keep things warm. Warm the cooler by running hot water into it. Empty the water after a couple of minutes. Wrap the item you want to keep warm in newspapers or towels and place it into the cooler. You can also use something that can be warmed, such as the combination ice/hot packs, to pack with the item in the cooler and it will help it stay warm longer.

Do you need distilled water in antifreeze?

No. you should always use a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water. Water, even distilled causes rust. Most headgaskets are made of thin metal. The water will rust around the water ports and cause the gaskets to leak. The replacement of a head gasket or gaskets will run several hundred dollars and worst casue serious engine damage can result. Antifreeze has additives that help to lube the water pump, inhibitors to keep rust in check and the 50/50 mixture will actually keep your engine running cooler.
