Re: Flushing the cooling system?
It is a hazardous waste. I watch it because we can't keep the
neighborhood domestic animals from drinking it and dying a horrible
death, I turn it in with my paint waste, run by my local trash company.
I used to dump it in with my oil at Kragen's, just to get rid of it. Not
telling them of course. They used to pump it for free, and pay me twenty
cents a gallon.

Too bad you missed my post about the valve defaulting 'open' with no
vacuum...
Those valves are brittle. A friend snapped his while changing plugs.
I used a deep 1/2 socket to put the two hose ends together to get him by
until he got a new valve.

I read your post Mike, but I had to change my heater hoses, so there was
no way to get around messing with the valve. I wish I would have just
cut the damn hoses off. <sigh> Live and learn and learn and learn...
