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
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
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.
