OK-- For those of you that want the easy way out--- Here is the ultimate answer--- Get yourself a old style air charged 4 gallon fire extinguisher-- Fill it up with the coolant of your choice, and give that extinguisher the maximum air charge----I think they'll take 50 psi-- Take out the radiator bleeder fitting Hook the hose to the expansion tank overflow hose--( be sure to double hose clamp the connection ) and pull the handle--- Look OUT !!! Your cooling system is now bled in seconds not hours--!!!! And more than likely you have just ruptured every hose in the van----:>) More Idea's from the great Karnak--- ______________ |[ ] [ ] [ ]\ | | | | ~~~ ~||-(())----(())-| Terry-- "Zoom, Zoom, Zoom" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
