Hello just about to use the some of this stuff, just been reading the instructions (makes a change) and it says after its been in the system it needs to be flushed through and I need to remove the stat question is do I really need to do this couldnt  I just let it run around and flush it a couple of times it may take longer but will be easier wont it

ive just got some forte radiator flush off of ebay,im not gonna bother with removing the thermostat either,just gonna refill cooling system three or four times with fresh water and then re-fill with a 50/50 water coolant mix.

Ok just finished doing mine without taking stat out its been flushed through several times and now seems to be more or less just clean water I doubt it would be free from some traces anyway   My tempgauge was sitting around 95-97 on all journey types the temp is now reading just over 90 now   . The coolant in my system was pretty clean to start with too so just goes to show you cant tell whats inside the engine

forte does say remove stat. easy on my tractor.

just flush through a few times, doing a few miles inbetween, then get right 50:50 mix in there.

You probably used the one for the oil

Not only does it say remove it, my bottle says replace it?

Why is this?  Is it because the treatment eats at the stat?

I'm reluctant to replace the stat as i works just as it is now.

It means put it back in after flushing, not renew it.

It's a bit like the Americans putting warnings on packets of peanuts saying,

"This product may contain nuts".  

It's all to do with avoiding litigation, they've told you to take it out for the flush,
so they have to tell you to refit it in case you follow instructions to the letter
and try and sue them.
