Dont use tap water if you can avoid it. Get some corrosion inhibitor (or concentrated coolant) and dilute it with distilled water. That way you won't corrode everything. Big mess.

The amount of coolant - just drain the engine and radiator, fill the radiator to the top, start up the engine let it run for a while and just keep topping up.

Around about 16 litres. Read the directions on the concentrate and then make it a little stronger. You can get the water from Bunnings fairly cheap.
