My car began to run hot and I decided to put antifreeze in my radiator. Instead I accidentally poured gasoline into the radiator because gas was in the antifreeze bottle. My car was running and I automatically assumed since it was kind of smoking from where you insert the antifreeze at, that the gasoline had ran through my motor probably. But I poured gas into my radiator while the car was running. What can I do?

Hi there,

Flush the cooling system and re fill with coolant, you still may see a little film on the coolant but that wont be a problem.
