let engine cool -open radiator cap -move a large container under radiator drain fitting( it's hard to see- located on lower left corner of radiator)-attach 3/8" diameter hose to fitting to direct coolant into container- turn fitting counterclockwise-pliers may be needed.
The radiator drain plug on a 1992 Mercury Topaz is typically located at the bottom of the radiator. It may be a plastic petcock valve that you can twist open to drain the coolant from the radiator. Be sure to place a drain pan underneath to catch the coolant.
When facing the front of the Mercury Mountaineer, the drain plug is on the lower left of the radiator. Place a bucket under the drain plug spigot before loosening to catch the coolant. To empty the radiator, turn the drain plug three-quarters of a turn. Tighten the drain plug before re-filling with coolant.
Drain plug for what?
To flush the radiator on a 2002 Mercury Cougar, first ensure the engine is cool and then remove the radiator cap. Place a drain pan under the radiator and remove the drain plug at the bottom to let the old coolant flow out. After draining, close the drain plug, fill the radiator with a radiator flush solution mixed with water, run the engine for about 10-15 minutes, and then drain again. Finally, refill with fresh coolant and check for leaks.
Drain radiator at bottom or rear of radiator
The drain valve is on the (facing) engine side, lower left corner (drivers side) of the radiator. There is a tap and a tube you can put a small hose on to drain the coolant into a container.
The radiator drain plug should be located on the bottom of the radiator on the passenger side. Open that, let the old coolant flow into a drain pan, replace the drain plug once the coolant is out and the radiator is flushed, then fill it up through the radiator cap.
In systems that do not have a radiator cap, the coolant is drained by the radiator drain plug. It is filled by adding coolant to the system through the overflow bottle.
Radiator drain plug. Located at the bottom or lower side of the radiator used to drain coolant from the radiator.
To drain the radiator on a 2001 GMC Sonoma, first ensure the engine is cool and then locate the radiator drain plug at the bottom of the radiator. Place a drain pan under the radiator, open the drain plug, and allow the coolant to fully drain out. After draining, close the plug securely, and refill the radiator with fresh coolant. Be sure to dispose of the old coolant properly, as it is toxic.
Drain the system from the lower hose on the rad.
To drain a radiator without a drain plug, you can disconnect the lower radiator hose to allow the coolant to flow out. Make sure to catch the coolant in a container for proper disposal. Be cautious of hot coolant and allow the radiator to cool down before attempting this.
