Re: Radiator fill up

[Menno.Meijer@ict.nl]

Hello List,

Different question but the same subject.... I've got a radiator
with an "elbowed" fillerneck. Does anybody know how far I should
fill it? (The manual describes that I should fill it a half or
one inch below the fillerneck but that's difficult) Due to the
elbow I can't see the level.

The last time I've filled it just to the point at which I could
see a little coolant at the bottom of the fillerneck.

Regards,

Menno Meijer

Paul Root Asked Question 2: How to I get a radiator that doesn't have a
cap completely full? I filled the overflow last night, should/will the
radiator suck
that in until it's full?

A fast and easy way to fill a MGB cooling system that does not have a
radiator cap is to unhook the top hose and turn it upwards.  Just pour
the coolant into the hose until it is full!  Squeeze the bottom hose a
few times to remove air.  Then reconnect.
