  • Patent number: 4091865
    Abstract: A coolant container assembly is especially designed for use with an internal combustion engine cooling system together with means to produce a pressurized flow of flushing liquid to flush the system, such means including a source of pressurized gas such as air. The assembly includes:(a) a coolant liquid container operatively connectible to said source of pressurized gas via a pressure regulator,(b) the container having an inlet to pass said gas into the container to pressurize coolant therein,(c) there being a flow restrictor connected in series with said inlet to limit the rate of gas flow into the container thereby to inhibit inadvertent bursting of the container, and(d) the container having an outlet communicable with said cooling system to pass pressurized coolant solution thereto.
