I put the prestone flush-n-fill Tee in the heater hose near the sliding door (this is also near the fuel pump). I chose that place mainly for convenience, and because it seemed to serve the same purpose as putting it up front in the same heater hose. I flushed cold water into there with the engine running and can tell you that I had water gushing out the radiator bleeder, and the rear heater bleeder, the thermostat bleeder and the 1 crankcase drain I could get open, and the fill cap on the expansion tank. I just kept flushing after I drained and disposed of properly the bulk of the coolant. I would run the engine, not run the engine, close the crankcase drain and fill and drain the engine multiple times, etc. Edward
