Subject:Re: '85 GL manual - Draining old coolant

Yeah, we had to pull the tank anyway to replace it with a new one. We also
have the sectioned stainless steele pipes from BD.

You seem right on spot with the left and right pipes too. The right one is
the one that rusted through. The left wasn't in good shape but had not yet
failed and was in WAY better condition than the left for sure.

I gues we'll have to flush the system once we get the new pipes installed to
get the old coolant out. When the van was mine I had never done that before.
While I was assured the proper coolant was used - and I used the right stuff
as well - what I'm seeing come out doesn't convince me that was the case
before it was mine.
