Changing Engine Coolant




Preparation for Changing Engine Coolant
Prepare an empty one gallon bottle, such as used for windshield washer fluid. Obtain a 1371 mm (54 in) length of hose with the same inner diameter as the coolant reservoir hose. Modify a one gall( bottle by making a hole at the bottom of the bottle slightly small than the hose outer diameter that will be covered by fluid when filled.
- Insert the hose in the bottom of the bottle.
- Seal the hose to the bottle so it will not leak.
