if your coolant is that bad then you would be better off flushing the system then refilling with fresh water and the right amount of concerntrated coolant.

Fairstar the Funship
Run a garden hose or a large funnel into one of the radiator hoses (with the thermostat out) and pump craploads of water through. Then do a reverse flush.

Then fill up with a bottle of coolant flush concentrate and tap water, close the system (still without thermostat) and run the car for half an hour. Turn off, wait to cool, flush the entire system again as you did before.

Then if it's particularly bad, fill with coolant flush and do it all again.
