John, The best way to mix your antifreeze is use a clean drain pan, five
gallon bucket etc. dump in two gallons of AntiFreeze and two gallons of
distilled water, mix it up. Then pour through a funnel into the radiator. I
use a funnel with screen just to be safe. If you have leftover, mark one of
your now empty jugs as premixed and use this to add later. Your Elky will
hold most of four gallons if it is completely drained.

Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] orange vs. green anti-freeze
Well, I started flushing out the orange stuff today. I drained the
radiator
by opening the petcock and also disconnecting the lower radiator hose,
then
refilled it and ran the engine until it was hot, then repeated that
sequence
about three more times before what came out finally started looking pretty
much clear. It's not supposed to freeze here tonight so I'll drive it a
little tomorrow and then drain it one more time to see if it looks clear.
If
it does I'll refill with water and then drain half the system (need to
look
up what the total capacity is and then take half of that out) and refill
w/
the green stuff.
Too bad I didn't know this sooner. I had been running straight water and
just put the orange stuff in yesterday. :(
