IT IS USED TO STERILIZE SURGICAL EQUIPMENT FOR GODS SAKE, are you sure it's illegal for general sale, or is just illegal for use in your industry? It is a VOC so if you work in interior paint or something where all VOC's are getting banned then i can see it being illegal in your application.

I mean really it's negative side effects are dry skin, irritated eyes, and diziness, last i checked every petroleum based solvent has at least that for symptoms if not more

I worked in a fab shop in the '70's. Where we took baths in the stuff. In the '80's, I worked in another shop and they took MEK off of us. Now working in a power plant. Because of the VOC's and other stuff. Any businesses that have an air permit for emissions. Have some type of Fed and state rules on it.

As long as the old and new fluids are not incompatible all you need is a good flush/rinse. Flush/rinse well with the new fluid you will be using - no solvent is needed. It will help if you warm everything up so that the fluids flow more freely. If you want to engage in some overkill, use the triple rinse method.

Just to be on the safe side, you may want to drain and refill the system after a few hours of use.

Or ... steam clean the cooler and bake for a few days until dry. Edit: Purging with dry air or Nitrogen will greatly hasten the process.
