For a 15 psi cap, the boiling point of a 50/50 mix is
264F.  For straight water, it's 250F.  At a lower
pressure cap the gap is smaller.  Sooooo....in the
case of the 7 psi cap boiling at 220 - 225, the system
is boiling earlier than it should.  If had any
anti-freeze at all in there, the boiling point should
have been even higher.
