I drain my blocks by pulling my block plugs, crimp off my crossover bypass then I feed 5 gallons of RV antifreeze through them. I have 4-3/16" holes in my thermostats. Exhaust is pink after about 4.5 gallons.

same as above,but I use -100° boiler antifreeze,I get it at the plumbing supply house.If you look at the dilution rates of the rv stuff,,it doesn't take to much water to make it freeze up.stuff I use will still be slushy at -20°.

Be extra careful when removing those plastic blue plugs in the various coolers, especially in hard to reach coolers. They get brittle over time and the heads snap off and getting them out after that is not a pleasant experience. Don't ask me how I know...

No think he means the stuff fish don't like!
Some people won't use rv antifreeze because they say it don't work well. I use rv and never had a issue and I have done plenty of water systems with out a failure. Just can't mix it with water. I think using green is horable knowing there is non toxic stuff to use that works.
