Easy way to add water to your radiator and or battery

Easy way to pour water into your radiator or battery. On a lot of the early cars have what is called the butterfly style hood. This style hood has the hinge down the middle of the hood and the hood open up like butterfly wings.

Also, the other style is called the alligator style because the hood open up like an alligators mouth and the hinges are mounted at the back end of the hood.

Have you discovered that there is not enough space to use a gallon jug of distilled water to add water to your radiator or even your battery without spilling water all over the engine and battery. Even some batteries are under the front seat like on my 1939 Desoto so there is very little room to get to the removable caps.

Most of us drink coffee or tea and like to add a flavored creamer. The lids on these bottles most of the time have a pour spout flip top lid. Refer to the pictures below of these bottles.  The nice feature is that you now have a smaller sized bottle and you can control the amount of water being poured out of the bottle. 

So, the next time you empty one of these bottles clean it out so there is no left over creamer. Then take the plastic label off the bottler and label the bottle as DISTILLED WATER. Store the  bottle with your other cars supplies in your garage.

Only use Distiller water in your Radiator and Battery. Some batteries have sealed caps and others have removeable caps. Most caps can be removed to check on the level of fluid in each cell

Refer to the attached pictures: Notice how easy to pour water into the radiator versus trying to pour from a gallon bottle container. Refer to picture 3 & 4.
