Using GE-47716 Vac-N-Fill Coolant Refill Tool
The advantage of the GE-47716 Vac-N-Fill tool is that is provides a complete cooling system fill while simultaneously purging air from the system. This can save time by eliminating the need to bleed the coolant system or thermocycle the engine when performing a coolant fill. The tool can be used on a full system, partially empty system, or a completely empty system. The tool can also be used to drain or partially drain coolant from some cooling system components using the extraction hose.
