Coolant System Pressure Cap - Overlooked Preventive Replacement
Written by wynndungey on 6/22/2012 at 07:13 pm

While people still seem to ignore the warning labels, there didn't seem to be
any quantity of successful suits because of scalding one's self while removing a
hot radiator cap. On the other hand, I doubt that it would be difficult to
design a radiator cap that locks while hot or under pressure. either condition
could provide the energy required to create a locked status.
