Take the radiator cap off with the engine cold. If it's not full to the cap with the engine cold, it doesn't matter what's in the coolant tank. The air bubble will allow for expansion of the coolant as it heats, it won't push any excess out into the recovery tank, and it won't make a sufficient vacuum to pull coolant out of the tank into the radiator. The system needs to start out with the radiator, water jacket and lines very nearly purged of all air to function properly.
