Hi dazmond, a very Happy Christmas to you & family,  on your Grippa heater coolant tank, how do you Know how much coolant
to put in,  on mine when cold, the coolant level is just below the hole in the tank wall, should it be filled above this, sorry for silly question, and what antifreeze do you use. cheers dazmond.

the coolant in my header tank was around 3/4 full when i first had it fitted....its dropped a little bit since then,ill use the same pink coolant as the original(any pink coolant will do)the difference between pink and blue is the pink is long life....you shouldnt mix the two.......

all the best to you too mate......

I've saved them up from the beginning of the year.

I have about 20 to send I just decided to send them all at Christmas.

I've put a big "merry Christmas" on the envelopes.  .

It's probably Down to how you pick up work.

All my customers these days come from facebook, I get ripped off every month.

But I don't go knocking for it, send a few reminders and then remove them and add to the debt letter pile.

I don't expect to recover it all but if I can get some of it at least...

I thought you were gagging a bit, the last time.

[DeLuce]

how do you Know how much coolant
to put in?

If you run a Grippa system, then there is a crease mark on the coolant bottle about 3" from the top of the coolant bottle. Fill up to this point!

For your heater to work properly you must have at least an inch or 2 of coolant in the tank,I check mine from time to time as when I first got it it was leaking slightly the odd drip over the pipes below.
