How
to
Add
Coolant
to
the Coolant
Surge
Tank
If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level
isn’t at FULL COLD, add a
50/50
mixture of
clean
water
(preferably distilled) and DEX-COOL
TM
antifreeze 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.)
I
Steam and scalding liquids from
a
hot cooling
system can blow out and burn you badly. They 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 cool if you
ever have to turn the pressure cap.
