for more info, how could I go about finding the exact amout needed?

 

[legendosiris]

just get a gallon of distilled water. its less than a dollar . Really though, there's no way to tell exactly how much water YOU will need for YOUR OWN setup. Lots of diff variables, mainly a RES and your tubing size/lengths.

Well build the system, then fill it with distilled water, and bleed it. Then drain the water back into a measuring container. If you want to estimate before you build anything, you'll just have to guess.

ok, whats the best way to flush the system, if my fill point is a modifyed 2-302 HC?

To drain it? Just get a wide mouthed container, and just pull the tube off a connector over the container. Proceed to tilt that mutha around until all of the water flows out of the system (the rad especially). Fastest way I have tried.

Won’t I lose some of my fluid if I do it that way due to splashing and the such?
