I collect the first drain which was the existing coolant into a bucket,
after that the dilute flush and rinse water went into the floor drain.

Re: Can't find the coolant drain plug???
I can tell you Kragans and Auto Zone that I have bought and dumped
my oil at, will not take coolant. I pour it in the toilet where the trash truck driver told me to. I think the correct way is to take it to the hazardous waste areas listed in the phone book and pay them twenty bucks to take it.
