If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level
isn’t
at the proper level (2.5 inches (6.4 cm) below the
base
of the fill neck), add a 50/50 mixture of clean,
water (preferably distilled) and DEX-COOL@ coolant at
the coolant
surge tank, but be sure the cooling system,
including the coolant surge tank pressure cap,
is cool
before you do it. (See “Engine Coolant” in the Index for
more information.)
Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling
system can blow out and burn YOU badly. They
1 are under pressure, and if you turn the coolant
~ surge tank pressure cap -- even a little -- they
can come out at high speed. Never turn the cap
when the cooling system, including the coolant
surge
tank pressure cap, is hot. Wait for the
cooling system and coolant surge tank pressure
cap
to coo% if you ever have to turn the
pressure cap.
