Anyone drain and change their Dex-Cool Generator coolant? I have a Kohler 7.3E and the overflow tank coolant color looks more brown than orange.
Is there a drain plug or other trick to draining most of the coolant from the Generator, before topping it off with "fresh orange" Coolant.
As always, informative suggestions much appreciated.

Re: Drain and change Dex-Cool Generator Coolant
Based on input from forum member, I'm going forward with utilizing a hand transfer pump, first sucking out as much of the old coolant as I can, then reversing the pump to transfer fluid into the generator, first via the radiator cap, and then thru the "air bleed" plug hole via a poly/barb adaptor, hopefully drawing out air and stopping when I get fluid.
So far I've gathered Transfer pump via Harbor Freight, and pipe plug adapter via Ace Hardware, 50/50 DexCool coolant AutoZone.
