Radiator Fluid/coolant: Monthly Automotive Maintenance Part 2

In this second edition of automotive maintenance tips, we’re going to be dealing again with fluids. Who would have imagined all the liquid that a car consumes, besides gasoline? Well, other than mechanics and people who find cars fascinating in anyway.

In the previous article of this series, we learned about oil and brake fluid. Next on our list of must know maintenance pointers, will be radiator coolant. Your operator handbook, or owner’s manual will tell you if, and what type of radiator coolant is best for your car.

Radiator Coolant

This fluid is extremely crucial to your car, as it is what prevents the engine from overheating. Allowing the coolant level to get too low, can cause severe damage to your cars engine, leading to repeated breakdowns and costly repairs.

Adding coolant to the radiator.

If your car is pre-1970, then you will have to add the coolant straight into the radiator. Some of the newer model German and Swedish luxury or sports cars also require the coolant be added directly to the radiator.

1.    Park your automobile on a level part of your driveway.
2.    Allow your engine to cool down for about a half hour before you proceed.
3.    The radiator cap should be located at the front of the engine, near the middle.
4.    Be very careful when you remove the radiator cap, touching it when the engine is hot, could result in severe burns.
5.    Once you have twisted off the cap (use rags or a thick glove), look into the radiator, and determine if the fluid level is pretty close to the top. If it isn’t, then pour in the coolant until you can see the fluid easily.
6.    Make sure that when you twist the radiator cap back on, you have it screwed on tightly.

Radiator fluid container.

Most American and foreign cars that are available today, have a plastic cistern, or container that holds the radiator coolant.

1.    The plastic coolant container will most likely be located close to the radiator. In some cars, it is even labeled. There will be a rubber or plastic hose leading from the radiator to the container.
2.    Again, ensure that the engine is not hot when you remove the cap. If the fluid level is lower than the “full line”, add coolant until it reaches that line.
3.    Do not try to remove the cap if the car has overheated, the reservoir holding the coolant could have become pressurized, and cause any remaining fluid to spray out at you when you twist off the cap. Allow the engine to cool sufficiently.
4.    If your car overheats because of low coolant, DO NOT put in straight water, as this can cause further damage. Radiator coolant is half anti-freeze and half-purified water. It is a good idea, to keep a bottle of coolant in your trunk, for situations such as this.

Radiator fluid comes in attractive bottles, and has a somewhat sweet taste. Always keep it out of the reach of children. And if it should spill, clean it up immediately because pets, like kids, only understand that it tastes good, not that it is poisonous.

How can you tell if your Radiator Cap is bad?

When the engine is cool. i can squeeze the top radiator hose and i can hear air coming out of the radiator cap. Dose that mean it is bad?

What u hear, make sure its from the cap or hose. If u touch the cap rubber and its no longer soft or any broken, u have to replace it because its no longer air tight. When u buy a new one, please check the rubber condition, make sure it still soft and flexible, and watch the boil point resistances. Higher point will make ur vehicle got overheating. Lower point will make ur vehicle always on cold condition, and it cost fuel mark by high rpm.

Wing walker awed locals
For Mabel Cody and her Flying Circus dancing on the wing of a plane was an ordinary day at the office as they entertained crowds with their flying and acrobatic skills. It was the 1920s and barnstormers were the bee's knees, drawing fans wherever they flew. On a Sunday in December 1921 about a thousand people gathered along St. Augustine Beach to watch Mabel and her troupe try a few death ...
