I recently drained and flushed my cooling system on my 85 Westy. I
I drained and flushed it four times to get out all the coolant; so,
there is only residual water left in the system. However, after
draining the system per the Bentley method, I could only drain about
half (10 quarts) the system capacity listed in the back of Bentley for
this cooling system (18.6 quarts).
My dilemma is, when I go to replace the antifreeze do I assume there
is half of the water trapped in the system. If so, I should add only
antifreeze to get the 50/50 coolant mixture I desire. Have others
experienced this phenomenon?
TIA,
