LOL!! OK, I got it.

So why in a million years did you think that drawing the liquid in using a two-stage vacuum pump was a good idea? Why didn't you just use a funnel and pour it in through a piece of tubing like a normal human would?

I suspect the answer has just been provided, but....  LOL

my concern was air pockets, yes a very low probability, just overthinking it.

Prob a better use if the entire system was installed in the car with lots of nooks and cranies  and loops...

live and learn and share the fun!

the idea (flawed in execution) was to monitor the clear tube for liquid. the actual uptake was so fast  that it caught me off guard. I would have nver fast enough to see the fluid rise and cut off the pump considering how fast the jug was emptied.

Yeah? Ya think?  LOL 

So that evap-o-rust stuff is almost totally benign, so at least it's not like you did that with Ospho or something else more troublesome. Hopefully you can get your vacuum pump all cleaned out and no harm, no foul.

got the freeze plugs in on one side (5)

the tool worked great, esp on the one by the CC vent pipe. That would have been a pain as its kinda tight.

CO i am not too sure about delrin, it takes a few very solid whack to seat the plug tool up to the shoulder. Not sure if delrin would deliver the needed impaction to fully seat, or at lest you should try it to make sure there is no rebound effect causing lack of full depth of the plug.
