Re: pressurize cooling system - how? 200 93

posted by  someone claiming to be jim on  Sat Dec 2 13:00 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I would be very careful using a compressor. 14 psi is about the max on most systems. If you have a pressure regulator, you could remove the small hose that runs from the top of the rad to the overflow tank, plug one outlet, and pressurise the other. The proper tool is a hand pump with gauge, which is either connected by teeing into the small hose, or by using a cap that goes on in place of the pressure cap. By teeing into the line you can test the release pressure of the cap, too.
