OK--
For those of you that want the easy way out---

Here is the ultimate answer---

Get yourself a old style air charged 4 gallon fire extinguisher--

Fill it up with the coolant of your choice, and give that extinguisher
the maximum air charge----I think they'll take 50 psi--

Take out the radiator bleeder fitting

Hook the hose to the expansion tank overflow hose--( be sure to double
hose clamp the connection ) and pull the handle---

Look OUT !!!

Your cooling system is now bled in seconds not hours--!!!!

And more than likely you have just ruptured every hose in the van----:>)

More Idea's from the great Karnak---
