Subject: Re: How To Part 1: Drain and Flush by 96LT4CE on 2014/7/11 3:29:43 Once the KS are exposed its time to remove them. Remember to have something under you to catch the fluid. and if you were running the car like me, THE COOLANT MAY STILL BE HOT EVEN IF YOU FLUSHED ALMOST 10 GALLONS OF WATER THROUGH IT!  i pulled the KS on the passenger side 1st. In the block this is what came out. remember, the system has had almost 10 gallons of water through it:  That's over 1 gallon out of just teh passenger side!!!  With the passenger KS out I decided to attack from the top with more water:  4.5 gallons from the top down and out the passenger side KS later.... Still ORANGE!  another 4.5 gallons  Frustrating! so I moved on to the driver side. But b4 I did I plugged the ks back into the passenger side. Even after flushing the passenger side with 9 gallons of water this is what came out of the drivers side:  that's still close to 1 gallon of orange!  After only 3 gallons of water this is what I got:  With my luck changing I pulled the passenger side KS and left the Drivers side out as well. Attacked from the top with the garden hose and just let it flow for a few minutes.   At this point saving the environment was the last thing on my mind. I was doing everything i could not to torch the car |
