Re: Flushing afterwards

Subject: Re: Flushing afterwards

ah ha!!! you first must put Tap water into the system for it to be corrosive to the heads and gasket....

Three Jugs of Distilled water.......Went to Riverside and back.

Tonight, I just drained the system again. The overfill reservoir was rusty as hell but the drain was flowing clear.

I started to turkey baster the Reservoir but that took too long so I pulled it out and cleaned it in the Kitchen sink.

Now it is clean (and dry....don't start with the tap water BS) and replaced. I just filled the system again with just Distilled water. It only seems to take ~2 gallons. maybe a wee bit more.

I'll run this water for another 100 miles and then drain it to see if it is clear or not.

If it is clear, then I'll replace it with a 70/30 mix.
