Flushing the Radiator ?

Question

i am flushing the radiator to my ford tempo 93 and the super flush stuff says to drive it for three to six hours can i just keep it at idol for that long?

Answer 1

BE CAREFUL WITH THAT KIND OF STUFF!! What it might end up doing is creating leaks because of the acid content. The best thing to do is get a BACK FLUSH KIT. It is real easy and SAFE to use. If your radiator is clogged up you might be better to take the radiator to a shop and have the rod it then back flush your vehicle.

Answer 2

Driving it is not the same as sitting at idle.Do what the label says. I don't think they mean go out right now for a six hour drive. After you've used your car for six hours, then drain it out and replace the coolant !

Answer 3

you can let it idle, as long as it,s circulating, but when you flush it, back flush it. let the water come out at the filler neck.

Answer 4

HI

I wouldn't idle it that long.. I'd plan a road trip somewhere then put the stuff in and take a trip.

good luck
