my experience - SS 555 used a 1 1/4 gallon gas can with a small spout, slid garden hose over the spout and hose clamped it - can had a separate vent -- would probably use a 2 1/2 gallon can next time if spout was small enough for the hose biggest tip is to start and stop the flow as soon as the pump primes to purge the bypass immediately -- there is a lot of hose and apparently the heater coils hold a lot of water I waited to purge the bypass until I was almost finished and it takes a lot of antifreeze to push out the bypass water though the whole system I thought from the video that a gallon or 2 would do it -- I used 7 -- mainly caused by waiting late in the process to purge the bypass And then having to re-purge the whole system a second time Got a lot of junk out of the system before the antifreeze came though In the end - all good - the guy at the Napa store thought I went through a lot of antifreeze pretty quick

used a 1 1/4 gallon gas can with a small spout, slid garden hose over the spout and hose clamped it - can had a separate vent --
would probably use a 2 1/2 gallon can next time if spout was small enough for the hose
biggest tip is to start and stop the flow as soon as the pump primes to purge the bypass immediately
-- there is a lot of hose and apparently the heater coils hold a lot of water
I waited to purge the bypass until I was almost finished and it takes a lot of antifreeze to push out the bypass water though the whole system
I thought from the video that a gallon or 2 would do it -- I used 7 -- mainly caused by waiting late in the process to purge the bypass
And then having to re-purge the whole system a second time
Got a lot of junk out of the system before the antifreeze came though
In the end - all good
