Just buy some new stuff and be done with it. Think Tectaloy concentrate around $10 Super Cheap? Cheaper than a 6 pack, or a packet of smokes.

Day-mow, I've saved the coolant a few times (new stuff I didn't want to waste). First I syphon the plastic tank empty, then I remove the bottom hose off the plastic tank, and stick the syphon right down the hose and siphon the rest out. End up only wasting a few drops when you remove the hose off the tank. Last edited by AMB; 31-10-2010 at 02:31 AM. |

Nulon Long life coolant is the best bang for buck in terms of coolant.
But yeh, 2 x 99cent buckets would do the trick.
