Water Wetter

[jnj]

Silly question. I am about to add 2 bottles of Water Wetter. Where do I siphon out the antifreeze, from the radiator or the overflow tank? As well, do I pour the stuff into the radiator or the overflow tank? OK thats 2 silly questions, but everyones reply is important.
Thanks

Why not cover all the bases, 1 bottle in the overflow & 1 in the radiator!

I wouldn't siphon it, but put a pan under the car and open the drain for a moment. Then put it straight into the radiator.

If you try to siphon it out from the radiator cap, the radiator will refill. Don't ask me why cause I can't explain why!:L The front end has to be raised up, Rhino Ramps are the easiest way, in order for the fluid to stay down when you siphon it out.

I used a baster and just put it directly into the overfill. I poured directy into the radiator and used 2 bottles like you're planning.

First, you only need one bottle of Red Line Water Wetter in the cooling system of a 91. Two can't hurt but two will not do any more for the cooling system than one wil.

Second, there is no easy way to siphon coolant out of the radiator. You add the RLWW to the high fill bottle which is that tank to the right rear of the engine which is sealed with a conventional radiator cap. There is also an overflow bottle located ahead of the right front wheel. You can put the Red Line Water Wetter in there, too, but it will take quite a while to fully migrate into the cooling system if you do it that way.

Lastly, if you have changed your coolant in the last three years, do that first and add the RLWW with a fresh mix of antifreeze and water.

I used a turkey baster and sucked coolant out of the tank with the radiator cap. I dumped that into the overflow tank. You need to be fast doing this since the tank with the radiator cap seems to refill fast. Once I got the RLWW poured in, I resealed the tank.
