Reply to "Filling a completely dry coolant system"

Here is the instruction page that lists some of vehicles it works with. I used # 8 and #10 on my car with the additional washer and rubber gasket I made. I probably should also say that it is a bit of a slow process. I had to fill the swirl tank and pressurize it multiple times. Once I had coolant draining from the drain cocks in the block I closed them off and continued filling, pressurizing, running the drill for a bit, and then repeating the process. Also once the system was mostly full, and under pressure, I went back and purged the radiator a couple more times to ensure I had all the air out if it. Finally you get to a point where it wont take any more coolant and it pumps up to pressure within 10 pumps or so and stays there. I was able to get 5 gallons in my car plus about a half gallon in the overflow tank, without starting the engine.
