BMC 1.8 diesel coolant capacity?

[SoulFireMage]

A this might be a daft question however we need to drain this out and refill it due to some oil contamination - a minor mishap.

Can anyone advise how much we are likely to need? It's pink rather than blue and I'm expecting to need a fifty fifty mix. The boat, a 36 Arcrite has skin tanks either side that the header tank is connected to though I'm expecting those to be heat exchangers rather than raw water being pulled into the engines own cooling system.

I saw somewhat that draining from the bottom hose will empty a lot of water from these tanks.

any help, very gratefully received.

Buy 5 lts then you will have some if you need a top-up

I have recently drained my 2.2 BMC Commander engine, a bigger lump than the 1.8. The capacity of that, including heat exchanger, is around 7 litres.
