Subject:      got to fix the cooling system again.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Funny how my van lets me know when I have done something wrong, I had a
cracked coolant expansion tank last month, bought a new one and filled the
system with prestone orange and tap water. I knew all along that I shouldn't
put tap water in my bus, and I was itching to remove it. But I figured I
would wait 6 months and change it out then. Well, the little bitty hose
going to the oil cooler sprung a leak, and I see there is no way to change
it without draing half my coolant, so I went the the VW dealer and paid $17
for a jug of the blue stuff, I will put it in with distilled water after I
change the hose. Only problem is, I want to flush the system. Do I just
stick a garden hose in one of the hoses and flush it through?
