Another winterizing question
 

Not that i need to anytime soon :evilb:

but,

I have the fresh water flushes (hose fittings) under the hatch. can you rig up a hose hooked to a 5 gallon bucket to get the antifreeze into the engine? looks like that would work, and i wouldnt have to open anything up on the engine.

Re: Another winterizing question
 

Yes that would work.....depending on how its all plumbed up you would probably need to open some valves that those flush's are attached to before they go into you cooling system......

Re: Another winterizing question
 

yes jason that would work but i use a small pump to pump
it into the motor. and i never open up the motor.

I have done it both ways, a small pump or a shut off valve to stop the flow out the drive and just let gravity do it's thng.

Re: Another winterizing question
 

Wouldn't you want to get it up to operating temp so the T-Stat is open. Seems if you just pumped it in there would be reg water behind the tstat.

You need to empty the block first to be safe.

YES let the motor run on the hose till it reachs temp and then
change over to the anti freeze run 4 gals (not 50/50) and you are done
i never empty the block....
