Learn2 Flush a
Car Radiator (Continued)
 Drain the radiator
To drain the radiator, you'll need to locate
the petcock, which is the radiator's drain
valve. You'll find it on the bottom of the
radiator, and you'll notice that it has a handle.
That handle is there for a reason: you won't need a
wrench to open it (although you have one handy just
in case).
- Open the petcock. As you open this
valve, the coolant will start to flow from the
radiator into the drain pan you placed below
it.
- Allow enough time for all of the
coolant to drain out, and then close the
petcock.
- Using the funnel, pour the drained
coolant into a container that meets the disposal
regulations in your area. Set it in a safe place
while you continue this project.
