Fuel and Turbocharger Cooling System Draining, Filling and Bleeding: Draining

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford Pickup, 2008 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2008 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Do not unscrew the coolant pressure relief cap when the engine is operating or the cooling system is hot. The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
  1. Allow the fuel cooling system to cool and remove the pressure relief cap.
  2. Disconnect the coolant hoses at the fuel cooling system radiator and drain the coolant into an appropriate container.
