Thanks for the help in the cooling system project. Have Decided: Marine coolant hose for long pipe replacement (Trident 100-1140) the manufacturer assures me that it is rated for anti-freeze, and that temp and pressure are no problem, About $6/ft, available from any7 marine supply house. Jackstands for elevation, will be very careful to no drop van on me. Saving coolant to re-use (3 months, 5000 miles old) NAPA for heater hose and Tee's. Now... What is the best place to drain the coolant from? Ideally, I would direct it into gallon water jugs from a hose that I can clamp off as the jug gets full and gets swapped for another. Failing that, I could use the kids' baby pool as a coolant catcher. I don't think my wife wants me to use the crab boiling pot, but maybe she will go out on some erands... I was thinking about the heater hose as a good drain. It's low, and it looks like it can be clamped off easily, and it looks like I could direct it into the jugs easily. Any input from the list appreciated. Peter |
