Has anyone had similar experiences with the antifreeze foaming up in the resivoir. The definately will reduce the heat exchange ability of the water in the system. I tried filling the resivoir completely full but getting all the air it is almost impossible. Does anyone know if there is an anitfoam agent that is made to add to coolant systems. Or does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks,
Mark

I agree that getting all the air out will take several days of bleeding but that should solve the prob. I just didn't know if it was possible to get it all out or if you were supposed to. The instructions are not clear on that. The return line is in the very top of the resivoir and it has a lot of flow. When it returns to the air environment it really churns it up after you have been driving a while.
