it depends on the size and application of the radiator
== == It is located at the lowest level of the radiator, and it looks like a miniature water tap. Be careful not to try to drain it when the coolant is very hot, you could get burned. You will need a very large container to hold the coolant, at least 6 gallons in size.
The gas tank on the 2007 Chevrolet Impala holds 17 gal..
The radiator itself will probably hold about 4 qts. The whole system will hold aprox 12 to 14 qts.
11.7 quarts
17 gallons
That depends entirely on which engine and which radiator options you have.
if the engine and radiator are both dry it should hold around twelve gallons
The 1999 Wrangler is equipped with an overflow tank. The amount iof coolant to add to the radiator is slightly less than 2 gallons. Be sure to use either a 50/50 coolant (pre-mixed with water) or a gallon of concentrated coolant mixed with an equal amount of water. You will have about 3/4 inch of coolant left in the container when the radiator is full. The overflow tank is there to hold coolant when the radiator gets warm and needs to expell some of the coolant. So just fill the radiator with coolant. You'll know when it's full.
Partially drain the radiator into a container. Remove the upper hose at the engine end. Remove the 2 bolts that hold the thermostat housing and remove the thermostat. Clean both surfaces and install the thermostat, install the housing and the 2 retaining bolts. install the upper radiator hose and top off the coolant. It is located at the engine end of the top radiator hose in the thermostat housing.
If the block and radiator are drained, it will take approximately 4 gallons to refill.
It holds 19.4 Qts total with hoses and radiator installed.
