I filled with coolant and distilled water.

If you can not drain the entire system...which you cant.. where do you think the tap water is you used for the flush...

At the start of this thread I'd of said it was all out. Now that I know only 80% of the system can be drained I'm assuming there was 20% tap water still left in the block somewhere.

So I'm planning on draining approximately 1 gallon of fluid out of the system then testing the fluid in the tank. I'll adjust the mixture based on my testing and roll on.

Does that sound feasible?
