Abstract: A method of replacing radiator fluid in an automotive radiator includes providing two gas tight containers, a fluid conducting hose with a gas tight nozzle fitted into a radiator fill pipe nipple. The method further includes the steps of filling one of the containers with a fresh radiator fluid, drawing a high vacuum on a second one of the containers, drawing spent radiator fluid into the second one of the containers using only suction from the container, thereby leaving the automotive radiator under a partial vacuum and then drawing the fresh radiator fluid, from the first one of the containers, into the radiator using only suction from the partial vacuum in the radiator. A radiator flush step may also be applied following the same method, using two additional containers, one with initial high vacuum and the other containing flush fluid.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for servicing a system having a used fluid, an inlet and an outlet. An exemplary apparatus comprises a first hose capable of being connected to the inlet, a second hose capable of being connected to the outlet, a first fluid tank including a first new fluid, a second fluid tank including a second new fluid, a pump and a selector. The selector selects one of the tanks and the pump pumps the new fluid from the selected tank into the system through the first hose and the inlet, and the second hose receives the used fluid via the outlet. For example, the first and second fluid tanks may communicate with the pump via first and second valves, respectively, and the selector may open the first valve and close the second valve, so that the pump pumps the first new fluid from the first fluid tank.

Abstract: A cooling system particularly suited for use in a small watercraft, which supplies coolant to, and evacuates coolant from, an engine of the watercraft. The engine includes an engine body defining at least one water jacket therein. An engine coolant supply passage desirably routes the coolant into thermal communication with a portion of an exhaust system, such as an exhaust manifold, before supplying the coolant to the water jacket of the engine. When the engine is shut off, coolant is permitted to drain from the water jacket through a drain passage. The drain passage is connected to the coolant supply passage at a position upstream from the exhaust system such that coolant draining from the engine travels in a reverse direction through the supply passage and is drained from the watercraft cooling system. Upon normal operation of the engine, a restriction orifice within the drain passage permits only a relatively small amount of coolant to be supplied to the engine water jacket, without being routed into thermal communication with the exhaust system.

Abstract: An improved marine drain valve is disclosed. The valve includes a valve barrel having an intake opening and a discharge opening. A fluid passageway extends between the openings. A valve adaptor body surrounds the valve barrel and a torsion-compression spring is positioned between and attached to the valve barrel and the adaptor body. A vent passageway is defined by the valve for venting a reservoir to which the valve is attached. An operating pin extends outwardly from the valve barrel and is received for movement in a configured slot defined by the adaptor body. The slot has a first leg parallel to the valve barrel and a second leg extending perpendicular to the first leg. The spring urges the valve toward a nonoperating or locked position. To operate the marine drain valve, a user rotates the operating pin and forces it upwardly into the first leg of the slot thereby opening the valve. Upon release, the spring returns the operating pin to the locked position.

Abstract: An apparatus for separating solid material from cooling water in the cooling system of a marine engine. The apparatus includes a hollow member or housing having an inlet to receive cooling water and having an outlet. A drain opening is located in the housing above the bottom surface of the housing and is connected through a suitable conduit to a temperature responsive drain valve. A generally J-shaped tubular member is disposed in the housing and has one end connected to the drain outlet while a second end is slightly above the bottom surface of the housing, out of alignment with the inlet. When the drain valve is open, water will drain through the housing to the drain outlet, while solid debris will collect in the bottom of the housing beneath the second end of the tubular member.
