There are personal pan in the hell for …

For the engineer who designed the coolant drain system on RD28T.

The plastic tap on the radiator which difficult to screw and just a bolt on the cylinders block.
The coolant will be everywhere on the floor if you try to change it.

Not with coolant on the floor, only with that damn plastic tap.

My RB30 plastic radiator drain tap would be the same as yours.

Yes, the engineer who designed it must have been drinking lots of rice wine when he designed it.

I will eventually modify mine, so there is a small hose with a plug in it.

The tap is half way stucked and I can't unscrew it. There are no place even for hand moving. It's not bleeding yet but it will.

Drain bolt on the cyl block is also do not have any drain channel or even piece of pipe to prevent fountain draining.

I had to use a small shifting spanner to undo the tap. I used an old silicon tube with a slot cut out so I could slip it over the tap so the coolant went into a bucket.

Thats great, but what about cyl block drain?

After I drained the radiator, I used a 22 mm socket with a breaker bar and I had three containers on the floor to catch the coolant. It is a really poor design.
