Boiling Point Of WaterRemember that temperature and pressure work together. When a diagnosis is made of a cooling system problem, temperature and pressure must be checked. Cooling system pressure will have an effect on the cooling system temperature. For an example, refer to the Illustration 1. This will show the effect of pressure on the boiling point (steam) of water. This will also show the effect of height above sea level.Test Tools For Cooling System

Steam or hot coolant can cause severe burns.Do not loosen the filler cap or the pressure cap on a hot engine.Allow the engine to cool before removing the filler cap or the pressure cap.
Check the Filler Cap
One cause for a pressure loss in the cooling system can be a worn seal on the filler cap.
Steam or hot coolant can cause severe burns.Do not loosen the filler cap or the pressure cap on a hot engine.Allow the engine to cool before removing the filler cap or the pressure cap.
After the engine is cool, loosen the filler cap. Then, allow the pressure out of the cooling system. Remove the filler cap.

Typical Schematic of Filler Cap (1) Sealing surface of cap and radiator. Inspect the filler cap carefully. Look for damage to the seal or to the surface that seals. Any foreign material or deposits must be removed. Check for foreign material and for deposits in the following locations:
The filler cap
The filler cap seal
The sealing surface for the filler capUse the 9S-8140 Pressurizing Pump to test filler caps. Also, use the pressurizing pump to check the cooling system for leaks.
Steam or hot coolant can cause severe burns.Do not loosen the filler cap or the pressure cap on a hot engine.Allow the engine to cool before removing the filler cap or the pressure cap.
Use the following procedures for checking the filler cap:
After the engine is cool, loosen the filler cap to the first stop. Allow the pressure out of the cooling system. Then remove the filler cap.
Put the filler cap on the 9S-8140 Pressurizing Pump .

Look at the gauge for the exact pressure that makes the filler cap open.
Compare the reading on the gauge with the filler ca
