Right or wrong this is how i did/do it, filling from drained, pour it in slowly via the filler cap, once full start the engine and top up till it wont take any more, replace cap and top up expansion tank to proper lever, then when engines hot and stat is opened, fit hose and bottle to the drain cock (which i fitted in the heater flow pipe, highest point in the system) open cock and tip some coolant into the bottle, when air bubbles stop the system is full, turn off cock and remove the hose, any further top up is into the expansion tank,
sorted!!
one added aggrovation to mine is i extended the heater hoses to the back of the truck via exchangers, rad, pump etc so a bit more fiddley, but running the pump while filling from the bottle and hose sorts it out, and both heaters switched to "on" BTW
>edit< before someone points out the other hose is higher than the one im filling from, i've since rerouted it under the filterLast edited by POPEYE; 8 November 2007, 20:28.Too young to die and too old to give a toss
