.............I guess I am not like the grasshopper (

Although I hate to discuss winterizing now I was wondering if anyone used
one of these ( http://tinyurl.com/d69nj ) to flush and winterize their
engine(s).

They retail for over $50. I was thinking of making my own (I already have
the hose and 5 gallon plastic tank). For an extra $5 in parts I am in
business.

I have always drained my engine(s) in the past then filled them with a
50/50 or so mix of antifreeze and water poured through the thermostat
housing.

Is this ( http://tinyurl.com/d69nj ) setup easier or any more reliable?
If so, how does it work?


I cannot believe how this on topic thread was immediately taken OT.

Anyway..........back to the original question:

Has anyone used this setup or is it just easier to drain the engine then
draw a 50/50 antifreeze/water mix via muffs from a 5 gallon pail?
