New Water Heater

Post by kjg1951 »

How do you bleed the air from the coolant system for proper operation of both the engine and water heater? Just got a new water heater and now have to bleed the heater... thank you

There should be a petcock someplace high on the engine coolant system that will let you bleed air. If we knew what engine you have it would help.

Filling with new coolant real slow will eliminate a lot of air. Run, check, top off, repeat.. Pulling off the hoses at the water heater coil will expedite the process too.

Luck is the residue of good design.
