Should you put nothing but antifreeze in your radiator?
The maximum recommended mixture is 50% antifreeze and 50% water. To my knowledge, 100% antifreeze is not recommended. If you are concerned about measuring, you can buy the pre-mix at just about any auto parts store or WalMart.

To flush a Toyota Previa radiator, first drain the antifreeze in the radiator into a bucket. This is done by turning the valve at the bottom of the radiator.

Thermostat stuck will it cause antifreeze to come out the overflow hose of the heater core?
The heater core has no overflow hose. Cooling system is a closed loop system and the only overflow hose is the one going from the radiator cap to the reservoir. A thermostat that is stuck closed will cause the engine to overheat. Drain and flush the radiator, replace the thermostat, install a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water, bleed air from the system. You may also need to replace the radiator cap. Be sure and replace these parts with OEM parts.The heater core has no overflow hose.

Why do we pour water into the engine tank of a car?
I believe you mean into the radiator tank. Hopefully you also mean antifreeze and not just water. The engine has hollow passages around the hottest parts of the motor and the liquid absorbs the heat and flows through the radiator and cools down again. The reason we use antifreeze now instead of just straight water is because the antifreeze raises the boiling point of the water so the engine can get hotter without overheating and it also has anti rusting chemicals to keep rust from the motor from plugging the radiator core.
What type of fluid go's in the radiator?
Only plain water goes into the radiator. The Above is Wrong A mixture of Antifreeze and distilled water (some people even say de-ionized distilled water). The antifreeze bottle will tell the ratio to give specific freezing and boiling temperature of the fluid but for most of the U. S., half and half is fine. Check your owners manual or ask at the auto parts store for the type of antifreeze recommended for your car. There are different kinds.
