Default RE: coolant tank

if you have regular coolant in the tank and shine a flashlight to the side, you should see the green tinge. that will tell you how far the coolant level is. or if you are using water, hopefully deionized, you can add food coloring, something dark and that will tell you how far the coolant level is. if you use food coloring, make sure it won't stain the plastic and all you need is a couple drops or enough to turn the coolant dark enough to see.
