Volvo Engine Fresh Water Flush Kit Question
Volvo Penta 1989 5.7 L engine with fuel injection...it uses 2 belts on front of engine
06484 - I know there is an engine fresh water flush kit for this engine as I seen many blogs showing very "volvo-penta type" instructions for the person asking how to flush their engine in and out of the water. My motor did not have such. The schematic looks very simple with a tee inserted into the water intake and a capped off hose with an adapter for connecting fresh water. Can you note the part to add this and cost for the kit so I can look at it on your website. I would need 2 of such.
Thank you.
P.S. I do not want the QL NEUTRA-SALT™ ENGINE FLUSHING KIT but the simple freshwater flush kit.
