Fill the tank with just 2 gallons of water - then run the pump and check for leaks before you add coolant. Do I need that much liquid in the tank? If you are not a heavy user, you can fill your tank with 3 gallons of water then slowly add a little coolant and then check with the refractometer to hit 3 BRIX.
