Coolant exchanger only draws out less than half capacity. Where is the block drain plug located in order to get the rest of the coolant out? Have distilled water in block after flush. I have 50/50 mix and can't dilute it more so have to drain the block first I guess.

Hello,

In the diagrams down below I have included the procedure form the vehicle manufacturer on how to drain and refill your vehicle's cooling system. Please go through this guide and get back to with how everything turns out or if you should have any other questions for us.

Thanks,
Alex

I haven't had a chance to drain the system so far, but have access to a robinar coolant exchanger for when I do. If you have any pointers I would appreciate it.

Hello again,

I am not familiar with that unit. You should be able to find a operators manual online. I would try the manufacturers website.

Thanks,
Alex
