Subject: Re: [MV] How much fluid in CUCV Radiator
| Most bigger trucks take gallons of coolant. So I always start with a
| full gallon of coolant, then fill the empty coolant bottle with water
| adn dump that in, then go to another new gallon of coolant, and then
| repeat until the system is full. If you do that then you will always
| have at least a 50% mix in the radiator and probably a little more
| depending on when the radiator becomes full.
|
| Just remember to start with a full gallon of coolant and continue.
| Beats the heck out of premixing - finding another container - getting
| more stuff dirty ....
