How
to
Add
Coolant to the Coolant
Surge
Tank
If
you
haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level
isn’t at the
FULL
COLD mark, add a
50/50
mixture of
clean
water
(preferably distilled) and DEX-COOL
TM
antifreeze 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.)
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.
