#Coolant cap pressure test install#
Install the cap on the tester and pump it to the recommended psi. There are different types of adapters, depending on the application. The radiator pressure tester can also be used to check the radiator cap. Always perform a block test to verify any suspicions. Coolant leaking past this seal and into the combustion chamber burns white and results in white-gray exhaust. Aluminum heads warp from overheating cracks can form in the cylinder head or the engine block. If the engine is started with the tester installed and the gauge quickly increases past the recommended psi, the engine has compression leaking into the coolant jacket. When a vehicle has a persistent coolant leak, but an external leak can not be found, suspect a leaking or blown head gasket. Check inside the floor and console area for heater core leaks. Check around the engine, hoses, and radiator for leaks.
Install the tester on the neck of the radiator or the coolant reservoir, and pump until you reach the pressure marked on the radiator cap. Use a radiator pressure tester to test for leaks.
