A possible simplification of Bill's Groco Strainer solution? For the last couple of years I have just taken the lid off the Groco Strainer and poured in antifreeze as the water pump pumped it out. Needs to stay full to avoid running the pump dry, but that is easy to do just by watching the level. In a minute or so an entire gallon has gone through, I kill the engine and am done. Is this procedure not good?
