Controlled release from engine block coolant drains?
Anyone have a good method for a semi controlled release of coolant into a receptacle from the block drains?
I need to reuse the coolant and prefer not to have it drizzling down the side of the motor.

Pick up 1 or 2 barbed fittings with 1/4" NPT male threads. Put a snug fitting cap over the barbed end (or use your finger) and switch it out quick for the plug then get some plastic tubing ready, pop the cap or your finger off and slip your tubing onto the barb.
