Coolant bleeding

[kcfalcon2000]

Is there a "enviro friendly" way to bleed the coolant on the 3800? Bleeding mine drains right on the exhaust man. and on to the ground. I thought about rigging a line up to bleed back to the overflow tank. Any ideas?

The petcock in the bottom of the radiator on the drivers side.

Hes talking about bleeding it not draining it lol.

I just wrap a few rags around the tstat housing and crack the bleeder screw. the rag soaks up the coolant as it spews out. Once you have a steady stream coming out your good to go.

I do the same thing as kfish.

Just get a shop rag, or an old towel, and it'll soak up all the coolant.

I just crack the bleeder open and let it drip. It'll burn off the mani anyway, and what little bit does reach the ground helps control the stray cat population in my area. Keeps the little f'ers off my cars and out of my garages. Screw the EPA, lol...
