Is the test supposed to do with the running engine? because that means boiling coolant eventually it will get into the fluid even you drain it already

The test must be done with a running engine to assure that if exhaust gas is entering the coolant, it will be detected. If you lower the coolant level in the radiator first, or make an extension tube to separate the sensor from the radiator neck, you'll be able to keep coolant from being drawn it.

Hi Muzzammil, when it was time for me to change my coolant, I ordered (2) gallons of this, as per manual. But, when I drained my 2005 Accord from the bottom drain block...it only required (1) gallon to completely fill!

Yep, the whole thing , and it's not going to do anything for you when you do. What this does is help the water in your coolant cool the engine, so it's only going to work on half your coolant, and only when your thermostat is open, and will not drop temperatures, only help regulate them to normal temps. This kind of product is best used as aforementioned, in a 70/30 split, and usually only in high load/low speed applications like towing or off roading.

I would think your mechanic would have a better answer than me, as he likely has training and experience. An update is that my vehicle started to make steam similar to about 10 percent of a steam locomotive. This later lead to a diagnosis of a stress fracture of the prestone type T adapter to power flush the coolant every two years. The material for this repair was only about 3 bucks! No leaks after the mechanical repair. Luckily it was not a head gasket. I do not know for sure, but likely if it does work, it will only be temporary.

The coolant is not pre-mixed, you will need to add distilled water at about 1:1 ratio.

let it run for about 5 min b4 putting the probe in position,make sure coolant is not close to probe and you have a good seal,i used the actron handheld vacuum pump (for brake bleeding)as my vacuum source.verify little check valve is seated properly,if not liquid will be dripping from bottom.if you still have problems take tester to rear tailpipe and let it sniff running exhaust it should turn to yellow immediately

How has it been installed. Mine leaked there until I run the system. There are 3 check valves that open with a screwdriver. Try bleeding them and see if it fixes your problem

Mine installed on the small engine cooling hose (note the hose size) that is part of the heater core system (passenger heater in the truck). The coolant is heated and the hot collant rises, so take this into account as far as shere you tap in to the hose. This does not provide much movement of fluid, but plenty of heat. Try their website: http://www.fivestarmanufacturing.com/Guides I am not associated with them in any way.

Not had that problem myself, but when I was researching my coolant leak I went on several F-150 forums they spoke of oil leaking due to some common problem the 5.4 had (another being my coolant leak which was exactly as they described on the forum, also where I found out Amazon sells the manifold). Go to the internet and get on those ford truck forums, someone will have had the same problem and provide the fix info. Good luck!

You might run into an issue where the car has a safety valve, then like the other posters said, you need to find a different way in. On my Volvo, they actually want the techs to go in and empty the tank from the service port, says so in All Data. Depends on the vehicle.

It goes into the radiator, not the crankcase. It won't have any effect on the oil. It actually seals the coolant from the engine, so it doesn't mix with the oil

I flushed the radiator and block, and started over with clean half water half antifreeze mixture and added the K Seal to the radiator. It worked that way for me. I didn't try adding to the overflow tank.

You must have a bad leak in Your fuel system. Just changing the carb to fuel injection may not fix that.

You've probably figured it out by now but I'd guess you've got a blown head gasket and compression is leaking back into the cooling system.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think it would. All it does is recharge the coolant. It won't fix anything that's broken.

No, this is not designed for that purpose. The way this stuff works, it needs the heat of compression at the point where the coolant is leaking. For head gaskets, this is the way to go. I have now put over 67,000 miles on my Duramax since I put this in it, and over 31,000 of those miles have been at full rated GCWR of 22,000 lbs.

There is nothing in the documentation that says. I don't know why it would need to be. All it does is filter the coolant.
