If I properly drain the radiator and block and overflow jug and dispose of the fluids at a recycling center, can I safely stick a hose in the radiator and run the car with the bottom radiator drain open to flush everything? I've done this before the EPA even existed on old cars once upon a time, but now I see the enviromental concerns of just dumping it on the ground. Yeah, water will get all over but will it cycle properly? I would then refill with distilled water and probably RMI or maybe just go back to a conventional mix of glycol/water.
