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.)
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.
