Thanks. I will try to get either Soltron or Biobar.

I keep the car in the garage, where the temperature is well above freezing. Would parking it outside where the temperature is below freezing help to kill the organisms?

Am I better off running the tank low before refiling (I am in the habit of filling the tank between the 1/4 and 1/2 marks) in the hopes of getting the "Dead Bodies" out quicker, or filing the tank as normal.

If I do pull the tank, should I take it to a radiator shop to be boiled out, or just clean it by the "slosh and drain" method? Also, would there be any benefit to coating the inside of the tank once I have it out?

I will replace the screen once I have the problem under control. I have laid in a bunch of filters, and have even assembled a emergency filter change kit that I keep in the car (screwdriver, filters, paper towels and rubber gloves)
