Coolant Refill Problem

[redeye280z]

If I get the uview tool will I be abe to use it if the coolant tank has liquid in it now or will I have to drain the system again?

Why do you need a new cap if you are trying to burp it I would think you would want to leave the cap off to burp the system.

The Uview system can draw vacuum on the system as long as the tool is above the coolant level in the tank. You may encounter air surges as air comes out of the system, and if that results in the coolant hitting the tool, a small amount of the coolant will be pulled out by the tool. But because the Uview system vents out a separate line, you can catch any of this in a bucket and reintroduce it later.
