This has been a major hassle and has taken much of a Saturday afternoon, but I won't ever have to do it again because I will be doing the drain routine and refill with fresh Peak and distilled water every two years from now on. My mix is approx 50/50 Peak and distilled I add 2 gallons of Peak and the rest of the fill is distilled water. The system has been "flushed" and what little remains is almost all distilled water. Now I go through three or four drain and refill with distilled water and drain again. I run hose from tap to heater hose fitting, other hose from radiator inlet to sewer (the discharge is water and detergent and whatever rust and scale it picked up-non-hazardous) DRain again as above.Īfter this is done use the flush and fill clear water flush as per directions. Now I use the cleaner/flush with distilled water for however long hte directions say. After doing this three times I got most of the old coolant out. I then fill with tap water and run a few minutes and drain again. I drain as much as I can from the system and discard IAW local laws. the system should be open.water in from garden hose water out from radiator filler neck. I wouldn't hit my cooling system with city water pressure (53 psi where I live). Well, you should remove the thermostat before using the flush and fill. So these guys don't use the flush and fill or don't like the flush and fill or only use distilled water or don't like to use hard water or tap water or, or, or.But you had a question about using the flush and fill specifically regards the thermostat.
