Coolant Change With NPG+ - Feb 2005

I disconnected the hose at the water pump and the one at the expansion
tank which goes to the radiator. After the old coolant had drained out,
I used the blowing action of a strong shop vacuum and blew the residual
coolant out of the engine.

Bruce,
 
I have just changed the coolant and I did it as follows: ( I have the 81
hp engine)
I disconnected the hose at the water pump and the one at the expansion
tank which goes to the radiator. After the old coolant had drained out,
I used the blowing action of a strong shop vacuum and blew the residual
coolant out of the engine thru the expansion tank and out of the
radiator by connecting the vac hose to the hose going to the radiator. I
than flushed  the system several times with distilled water and blew the
rest of out again with the shop vac. connected the 2 hoses again and
filled the system with NPG+. You need less than 1 gallon. Run the engine
briefly, added some more etc. until the system is full. Let me know if
you have any questions.
 
Regards
