For you guys with rear tanks

How often do you guys clean out your rear tanks and put fresh clean water through your system?
I drained my rear tank today and cleaned the inside walls with a hose attachment while draining the tank. Once I was satisfied with the cleanliness of the tank walls and outside of the rule pump then I ran both front and rear pumps while running clean water from the hose into the tank while having the drain open. I had to close the drain a couple of different times to check for water clarity. Once the remaining water in the system was clear I then added a bottle of royal purple's royal ice.

I would clean mine like that after I went to the track. Then I would fill it with distilled water and 2 bottles of Water Wetter.

Btw I went to the track often, almost twice a week.

No MB coolant just water and one bottle of Royal Ice. Since E is running two bottles I may add a second bottle.

I clean mine once a year with radiator tablets but drain it often at track or dynos. Slime can build up in the plain water fast and only use some coolant or wetter during off race season.

Smart...for those in cold climate areas, run coolant in the winter months (or 6 months of the year ...)

58 degrees!

I would consider that to be "snowed in" weather my self. but still hot and humid down here. So it's perfect for golf or the beach. but your still more likely to find me on the golf course
