Ken,
On my first drain into a large container I measured what came out of the drain valve using a gallon jug, Given the capacity of the system, I calculated just over two gallons remained that did not drain. I actually flushed three times and used distilled water for the last flush given several gallons would remain. What was finally left in the system was a 2 gallon mix of mostly distiilled water, a small amount of city water, and a small amount of dilute ethylene glycol. I started with two gallons of concentrate ELC (I used Cat) and then filled with 50/50 mix. My Cat dealer did not stock any concentrate so I had to order it before I did the job. That is what prompted my note. If I had brought my coach into the dealer they would have flushed with water, perhaps a cleaner, and just put in 50/50 premix and called it a day. Now I'm not convinced that would have made a big difference given there is a range of acceptable concentrations and I'm living near Gulf Shores AL and we are not exactly cold here. Still I would rather have it right....
Your method of using only concentrate is just fine if your dealer has it. Given my local dealer just had 50/50 I planned to use what I could of that and ordered 3 gallons of concentrate to have on hand. I'm a little parenoid about using Cat ELC given they did the testing and know the material compatibility that is requred for thier engines. As long as Fleetguard has Cat EC-1 approval listed then that would ease my mind.
One other item. The Cat procedure for ELC change over would have you run a cleaner concentrate through the system that you are supposed to flush out. It would not be very easy to effectively flush that cleaner out given the residuals left in our system. The antifreeze that I drained out was clean and I only had 38K miles on the coach at that time, with a prior standard antifreeze change at 28K, Given that I elected not to use the cleaner. Hope his helps.
