Changing fulid

[fantasticCG]

Right im changing my tubing and fluid colour as well as putting a drain port on my rig. What fluid will i need to wash out the system so i can put a new colour in?
Thanks

If you previously used a different fluid colour I would strip down the loop and give it a good clean otherwise dye from the previous fluid will mix with your new one.
Maybe a bit extreme but I would also reassemble the loop outside of the case. Run water through it, if you are happy with how clear it comes out then put it all back together in your case.

Well basically I've got some dremeling to do
So it's all coming out and I want to put in a drain port,
So I don't have to keep cutting the tubing.

Not much more you can do than flush it through as best you can, good old tap water will be fine to start with then once you are getting nice and clear a few flushes with deionised water.

Parts that are coming out and are non electrical could be soaked in water (wouldn't use anything more powerfull due to potential to damage any seals etc).

Once you think you are totally clean, flush it again for good measure
