if you mean you want it to all come out at once try opening the cap on the top of the radiator to let some air in there. othe than that, i really have no clue what you are trying to say...

yea this happened to me too. if you take the drain plug from the bottom out it comes out really slowly. as soon as you take the radiator cap, the coolant starts spraying out of the bottom like a hose.
