Puk'in Fluid

After I fill a radiator, I start the motor with the radiator cap loose. This allows the air bubbles to escape so that they don't get trapped in the system. I let it warm up a bit to allow the fluid to expand and the heat pressurizes the air bubbles through the path of least resistance (loose cap). Always worked for me.

Where is the fluid "puking" out of?

I also start my engines with the radiator cap loose. Then watch the temp gauge until it heats up and the thermostat opens, then top off the radiator and squeeze the upper radiator hose to help "burp" the air out of the system.

You have to let the thermostat open to help purge the air out. It can trap some air when closed.



Puking fluid.... :pukerigh:
