Thanks to everyone who responded with great ideas and advices.
I decided to plug the lower end, fill with coolant mix and then plug the
upper end. This way, it won't dry/rust, and, as an added bonus, it will
keep the critters out! :-)
Thanks again
Steph
I wonder what tools I'm gonna get for X'mas this year! :^D
