How
to Add Coolant to the Coolant
Surge Tank
If you haven't found a problem yet, but the coolant level
isn't
at the
FULL COLD mark, add a
50/50
mixture of
clean water (preferably distilled) and DEX-COOL@
coolant
at
the coolant surge tank, but be sure the cooling
system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap, is
cool b'efore 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.
