Flushing the cooling

[1930]

My B6100 pep cock clogged, got it unplugged and at first sludge only came out, now it's looking like pure water.

How do you guys suggest handling this.

I'm a bodyman, not a mechanic per se and so it's better to get opinions from people that know more than I do.

Thanks

I recommend draining the cooling system. Filling it with water and run it for a few minutes. Then drain it and fill it with fresh 50/50 diesel rated antifreeze.

Another tactic is getting your garden hose and pressurizing the system from the water pressure with the drain plug removed. It should clean it out.

If you are any location where it is not going to freeze, I would refill it with plain water and get it good and hot, then drain and refill with distilled water.
After you refill it with distilled water, I would run it to get it good and hot, then drain it out again and put in antifreeze concentrate, about half of what your cooling system is supposed to take.
Then top it off with distilled water and run it.
If after you run it it needs more, just add more distilled water as you know you have the right amount of antifreeze for the full system capacity.
