Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reminder.  I do have one advantage.  Currently I'm
plumbed with the EWP.  I can run the cooling system without starting
the engine and the pump is at the bottom of the system.  I run the
pump, stop and add water 5 or 6 times before the system is filled.

Since I live in a relatively warm climate, I'm expecting this to be the
definitive test on EWP performance in an Airplane.
