How
to
Add
Coolant
to
the
Coolant
Surge
Tank
If
you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level
isn’t at
FULL
COLD, add
a
50/50
mixture
of
clean
water
(preferably distilled) and DEX-COOL@ coolant at
the coolant surge tank, but be sure the cooling system,
including the coolant surge tank pressure cap,
is
cool
before you do
it.
(See “Engine Coolant” in the Index for
more information.)
A
CAUTIOP
Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling
system can blow out and burn you badly. They
are under pressure, and if you turn the coolant
surge tank pressure cap
--
even
a
little
--
they
can come out at high speed. Never turn the cap
when the cooling system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap,
is
hot. Wait for the
cooling system and coolant surge tank pressure
cap
to
cool if
you
ever have to turn the
pressure cap.
