[DeTomaso] Complete coolant flush ?

[Asa Jay Laughton]

- drain radiator as you already have.
- loosen both radiator hoses under the car at the front of the long undercar  
tubes and let drain.
- remove the small pipe plugs in the block, near the front just above the  
oil pan.

Thanks to all for your suggestions.

I drained my coolant to get a base line on the oil/coolant issue.

The manual instructs to open petcock on the bottom of the radiator and  
remove the pressure cap on the supply tank.

When I did that I only captured a little over 2 gallons of coolant. 

The manual states there is 6 3/8 gallons in the system.

I understand there is water trapped behind the closed thermostat and water  
in the heater line but 4 gallons and change?  

What is the easiest way to drain ALL of my coolant?

David
