Determine the capacity of the cooling system, then property refill the system with a 50/50 mixture of fresh coolant and distilled water. 9. Leave the recovery tank or radiator cap off to aid in bleeding the system. 10. Start the engine and allow it to idle until the thermostat opens (the upper radiator hose will become hot). The coolant level should go down, this is normal as the system bleeds the air pockets out of the system. 11. Refill the system with coolant to the proper level. 12. Turn the engine OFF and check for leaks.
