Just want to clarify the term 50/50 for everyone so nobody gets confused. I'm assuming you don't want people to mix up equal parts of coolant + water then pour it in. If you do that, the block being full of water will dilute the mixture so you have less than 50% coolant!
Here's what I do:
Look up the coolant capacity (let's use 10 litres for this example)
Pour in 50% of that amount of pure coolant (so pour in 5l of coolant)
Then top off with water to the full mark
That way you are absolutely sure that there is 50/50 in the system.
In the above example, if the block holds 2l of water, you would otherwise end up with 4l coolant+6l water which is only a 40% concentration.
Just thought I would point that out.. hope it helps!
