Put some water in your fresh tank..prime the pump with water. Then invert the screen, connect tubing to the city connection, have A/F in the tube if you can, and then try.
If you did the blow out with air first, it makes drawing in the A/F more of a chore. Should be removed from the GD procedure. (in my humble opinion...)2018 Dodge 3500 6.7 Cummins w Aisin and 9 cup holders

Double check the valve settings on the panel also. Works best if you can get the source about even with or slightly higher than the inlet until you get it primed, then it becomes more forgiving of draw height.Joseph

Blowing out the system with air will not empty the pump and filter. Blowing out the system with the valves set to draw in antifreeze will blow the pump and filter clear. Running the pump until it's dry will clear the pump. The pump is capable of pumping air to draw in antifreeze; it does draw sooner if it still has water in it or is prefilled with antifreeze.
Remember to have a faucet open when drawing in antifreeze so that air can leave the system as the pump pulls in antifreeze.Last edited by TedS; 11-17-2022, 07:20 PM.Ted
