Clean water, preferably drinkable water.
According to the Owner Guide , from the factory it came with either : Motorcraft Premium Engine Coolant ( green - color ) Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A or Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant ( yellow - color ) Ford specification WSS-M97B51-A1 . Check the engine coolant reservoir . It is a 50 / 50 mix of coolant and distilled water from the factory
The coolant should circulate through the entire water system.
you prob need to have your coolant checked out because when you work your engine the coolant is what keeps it at a good level so you should have the mixture of coolant to water checked out it should be 50/50
In most cases a 50/50 mix of straight coolant and water is sufficient. Read the directions on the coolant container and adjust to your weather needs.
First of all you shouldn't be using water, you should be using engine coolant. And to answer your question, your engine will over heat and you will not be able to drive. You can do damage to your cars radiator running with no coolant.
you should use coolant, therefore your bike will run cooler, the lower the engine temperature the better
Coolant I believe.
The "Coolant Sensor", for the ECU, is right next to the water neck at the front of the engine. the "Coolant sender", for the temperature guage, should be on the back of the head at the rear of the engine!
The water and coolant is put in the coolant reservoir for the location of this refer to the owners manual. It is best to do this when the engine is cold otherwise you run the risk of getting boiling water all over you. the mixture of coolant to water should be about 50/50.
drain all coolant from system. flush with water until clean water is comming out of engine. fill rad with water and run engine up to temp. this should help remove the antifreeze from the engine. drain water out and run water through system again until clean. add new coolant to system. should be good. use garden hose to flush out system
According to the 2006 Ford F-150 owners manual : It came from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of distilled water and Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant ( YELLOW colored antifreeze meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B51-A1 )
Not a good idea to add water. You should add an engine coolant available from any auto parts store. You should never remove the radiator cap when engine is hot! Wait until the engine has cooled down then remove cap. Fill radiator with engine coolant, replace cap and then refill coolant reservoir. That procedure will get you to a garage where they will find out why it overheated in the first place.
