Subject:      bleeding cooling system
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


I thought I would share my little trick in removing air from the cooling
system.


Forgive me if this has been discussed before, or a similar idea.


I use a wind shield washer tank from a rabbit with the built in pump.
It is my new Vanagon radiator fill devise.
I've found having the van "assume the position" Easy now, 15 or so
inches in the air in the front. Like Bently calls for.
Fill the tank with mix of antifreeze, insert the small hose in the 8 MM
bleed tap, power it up with 12 volts, fill the radiator up. Replace
bleed bolt, proceed with Bob Bently's  method.


This will greatly reduce the time it normally takes.


Rob
