Winterizing question?
 

I have a 29 foot Fountain with twin 502"s. I'm a big guy so I'm afraid if I get down there to the block drains to open them someone will have to call 911 to get me out. I have easy access to antifreeze so here is my question. If I put the drives is barrels filled with antifreeze and run the engines untill operating temp will this be good enough? I figure I can check the protection level of the coolant in the barrel since it will be mixed with the water that is currently in the engine.

Thanks, Jerry.

yes you can.but save your money first.fill the barrels with water let run untill warm then add the antifreeze other wise your just dumping it on the ground.don't forget to fog the motor at the same time.just my 2cents

Re: Winterizing question?

but what's the trick to getting fogging oil in an EFI motor.....

Re: Winterizing question?
 

Put two oz of two stroke oil in the fuel filter

Re: Winterizing question?
 

that's bogus, what's the point of fogging my snowmobile engines then, or lawnmowers, or any other two stroke engine for that matter if the oil that is used is supposed to suffice for storage? Fogging oil is much stickier and adheres to the cylinder walls and what ever else parts for that matter, 2 stroke oil will eventually run down to the pan after time. My opinion, take it for what it's worth.

Spraying fogging oil past the air mass sensor seems the answer. Is there anything downstream that should not get covered with this oil??
