Comments about Jamestown Distributors Do-It-Yourself Winterizer Flushing Kit:

i used on a 5.7 mercruiser and put the whole 5 gallons the unit held in and just wasnt positive it was pure antifreeze coming out of the exhaust. so i cut the top out of the jug while it was in the using position and i poured a total of 7 gallons through my motor. i just kept adding the antifreeze as it was running out, worked great and gave me piece of mind. if the unit would hold 6 or 7 gallons it would be much better design, and you wouldnt have to worry about it running out before all the water was out of engine.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Do-It-Yourself Winterizer Flushing Kit:

Concept is great. I have found it frustrating when I use and may change out low quality components. Should work perfectly without user upgrades. Valves are junk. Threads are weak.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Do-It-Yourself Winterizer Flushing Kit:

Worked good. The small valve that shuts off the tap water broke as soon as I turned it. I replaced it with a metal one for garden hoses. Also, I had to enlarge the jugs vent hole so that the antifreeze could flow easily into the motor.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Do-It-Yourself Winterizer Flushing Kit:

This is a good idea, but the seams leaked on the one I got. I was still able to use it with some difficulty. The point of buying this was so that I would not waste antifreeze, ended up wasting some anyway.
