I previously used the Airlift brand vacuum coolant fillers with the universal rubber cone. After refilling with the Airlift, I used a coolant funnel and waited for the thermostat to open. With this method, I would still need to top off the coolant (small amount) after the vehicle cooled down.
I semi-recently switched to the Snap-On coolant refiller than uses the Stant-style adapters; it is a vehicle specific setup. The system vacuums the system much quicker than the universal Airlift tool I used to use. So far, I have used the Snap-On tool on 5 or 6 vehicles and each time, I did not use the coolant funnel after refilling. There has also been almost no change in the coolant level after cool down.
My question: With my new setup, is it consistently safe to vacuum fill the coolant system and release the car without "burping" the cooling system with a coolant funnel?
