Want this question answered?
18.7 liters in a radiator flush and fill in a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500.
till the radiator and the block is full and the cooling system is at operating temp
No
The radiator alone, about 4 qts. The complete cooling system, about 12 qts. A mixture of 50% water and 50% antifreeze should protect the engine to minus 34 degrees F.
Probably all of it. Unless the volume of water in the system is known, it is impossible to know how much to remove and how much antifreeze is to be added to achieve the proper mixture. The correct mix is 1/2 water, 1/2 antifreeze at a minimum, but ideally, the mixture should be 70% antifreeze with 30% water.
The radiator itself probably holds a half gallon. The car as a whole would hold about 2 gallons.
i believe its 20 qts. That is correct. 10 quarts of antifreeze and 10 quarts of distilled water.
Once your vehicle is warmed up, if you have antifreeze coming out of the overflow you have too much in your radiator.
it hold two(2) gallons of 50/50 antifreeze total
For a 1999 Ford F-150 ,4.6 L V8 : It came from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of distilled water and GREEN color antifreeze ( meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A ) 1 row radiator ( 10.3 U.S. quarts of antifreeze mixed with an equal amount of preferably distilled water ) 2 row radiator ( 11.55 quarts of antifreeze ) * Ford states not to exceed 60% antifreeze or drop below 40 % antifreeze in the mixture
The smell of antifreeze is very strong and distinct, it does not take much of a leak to smell it. The radiator could still be full and have a small leak. I would check for antifreeze dripping onto the exhaust or on the engine block because when it is hot the smell is much more noticeable from the fumes.
it depends on the size and application of the radiator
