When I rented a lift in a friends shop to do a bunch of work, the lead mechanic and co-owner saw me getting ready to refill my coolant system.
He came over and mentioned that none of his employees use his new vacuum filling system because they were scared of it...
He rolled it over and helped me get it set up for me.
He mentioned it fills super fast, with no air pockets and you can also check to see if you have any leaks before any coolant is in the system. Plus it cant over fill the system.
It was weird at first when you seen the system pull vacuum in the lines and all the hoses collapse, but let the system sit for a minute and watched the vacuum gauge to see if we lost any vacuum.
It all looked good so I put the feed hose in the coolant bottle and he opened the valve... The bottle was empty in seconds.
We got the whole system filled in about 2 minutes. No air bubbles, no leaks, been at the perfect level since!
Amazing system!
