    A 5 gallon plastic bucket with a gallon of water and a gallon of
    antifreeze inside, a 5 ft length of rubber hose and you are good to go.

    Connect the hose to the raw water inlet, stick the other end in the
    bucket, start the engine and suck up the water/antifreeze solution.

    Stop engine at appropriate time.
