New engine coolant tool introduced

K-Line Industries has released its new Coolant Management Tool for fleet and aftermarket repair garages. According to K-Line, the Coolant Management Tool drains, pressure tests and refills coolant systems cleanly and efficiently, saving time and minimizing costs. The K-Line tool is said to eliminate coolant air pockets, prevent the mixing of unwanted coolants and contribute to green shop initiatives.

The Coolant Management Tool has a 20-gallon tank and cart assembly on wheels, a coolant reservoir cap adapter, a vacuum module and a pressure module.

K-Line describes the Coolant Management Tool’s use as follows: The tool is attached to the truck cooling system and clean dry shop air is utilized to “blow” coolant out of system and into the 20-gallon tank.  With the system empty, the necessary repairs can be made and pressure checked before the cooling system is refilled. The coolant is then replaced into the system using the vacuum module to draw coolant back into the tank reducing or eliminating air pockets. With the coolant captured within the Coolant Management Tool throughout the procedure, K-Line says there are virtually no spills, no waste and no chance of mixing coolant types.
