Hey!
Went brain dead here......... used to know this, now not sure!  Goose was easy, fill tank leave room for expansion. Drink beer.

I had drained coolant out of the heater core system when changing hoses, perhaps a tad out of the engine.   I have hole in T-stat so not worried about giant air bubbles......    All my old coolant went back into the car already and I need to ask:  What is proper procedure to "top off" the coolant "level" in the car for normal operation.
Is it fill the pressure tank, then the swirl tank half way?      Or at least something in the swirl tank...   

Run car........
Rinse repeat???
Getting prep'd for Phoenix, and last time I did this was pre-Covid and pre-house relocation!   Lost brain during move....in a box around here somewhere....
Thanks!
Steve
