I removed my atwood water heater today by using the great information found in these forums. Not easy to squeeze in that little compartment. I ended up having to cut the motoraid radiator hoses because there was not a lot of slack in them. Also had to cut the romex since it was tight too. Fixing that is no problem since I'm a sparky. But I was very surprised when radiator fluid started flowing out. Thanks to the neighbor who was curious about what I was doing she got some corks and I shoved them in the ends. I'm planning on using 1/2" copper to reinforce the tubing and hose clamps.
My question is once put back together DO I JUST PUT STRAIGHT RADIATOR FLUID IN THE RADIATOR CAP UNTIL FULL? THERE IS STILL FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. WHAT ABOUT THE AIR THAT IS IN THE SYSTEM? Do I then run the engine and fill back up?
