How to Add Coolant to the Coolant Surge
Tank
If you haven't found a problem yet, but the coolant level
isn't at or above "FULL COLD," add a 50/50 mixture of
clean water (preferably distilled) and the proper
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 about the
proper coolant mix.)

lhe cooling system, including the coolant surge
tank pressure cap, is hot. Wait for the coolin-
