[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16419279, member: 9628"] I completely flushed my SC cooling system by first disconnecting the hose on the outlet side of the IC and putting a turndown hose at that point, pointing into a large Ziploc bag wrapped in towels so it does not get torn by anything in the fan blade area. I then capped off the inlet/upper nipple on the SC reservoir. From that point I used a shopvac on the blower side to blow all coolant out of the system, this completely emptied the HE, IC reservoir and lines. I then put some fresh/clean distilled water in the reservoir and blew it into the system being careful to keep an good amount of water in the reservoir, so there were no air pockets. Once I had clean water coming out of the hose into the Ziploc bag, I knew the system was flushed and had no air in it. I flushed the system for a second time and then blew all of the water out and replaced with the proper coolant using this same procedure. During this process the Ziploc bag will also need to be watched, and emptied so that it does not overflow and make a mess. Once I blew the new coolant into and through the system, there was no air, I have not had any issues and I would use this method anytime I need to fully flush my SC cooling system. R [/QUOTE]
