In my opinion you are on the right track with Distilled water----has no minerals that can "ceramic" with heat  I only run Distilled water  when racing and drain.

The site below says as a liquid (not spray) the flash and flame point of 100% ethylene glycol is about 255 deg. F and that the flash & flame point of 25% EG / 75% water is only slightly higher , 288 and 296 deg. F . The low % doesn't sound all that safe but others can interpret it that better than me .
