Hi Chuck,

I like to find out the correct procedure to change the coolant fluid. in
My plane the radiator sits horizontical and both inlet and output
connections are on the top. How can I drain the radiator ? The lowest
point of the systems seems to be the water pump where the intake hose
from the radiator connects. If I disconnect there I assume the engine
drains, but not the radiator, or is that not necessary ?

Any comments would be appreciated

Best regards

Got this answer from Ximango USA. Does anybody has a more detailed
advise ??


"Horst,

A quick answer - do everything you said, plus crank the engine to pump
the last of the liquid out.  Ive not done it but hear it works.  Other
owners are likely to be more help.

Chuck"
