Default Re: Coolant quiz

I actually used low pressure compressed air on the whole system and the IC system directly. The first flush fluid was really dark still and the second was clear enough to easily see the bottom of the bucket about 12" deep fluid. All lines heated up and the fan came on, I estimate an air lock of 1.5 liters, 9.5 - 8 liters. On the first drain I emptied the hose above the thermostat and the lower hose, I think this netted about 1/2 liter. In my first post I said I think it will need a further liter or so, that is wrong I think it will be less than a 1/2 liter.

I think a good estimate can be made, there remained 5 liters after the first drain of which 2.5 liters was antifreeze, subsequent flushes reduced this concentration. How much remained after the second flush?

Where are the mathematicians on this forum?
