my new water temp guage is measured in degrees Celsious.... I know at sea level, water boils at 100 but at what temp does my sprite overheat at? I would imagine the cooling system is presurrized to a

"Water Wetter" is pretty much contains a surfactant and an anti-corrosive, and that's all. It doesn't affect the boiling point, it just helps the heat transfer from the metal of the engine to the wa

All I know is: with a new 7 psi radiator cap, my 948 boils over into my catch tank @ 220- 225 F. Where do I fit on that chart? Greg '58 Bugeye (vintage) Ron Soave <soavero@yahoo.com> on 06/07/99 07:4

14.7 + 7 = 21.7. Your cap boils early.

A related question? Would a cap that is not seating all the way behave like that? It wouldn't be pressurizing the radiator. My new Q-H cap from England is 1/32" too short and does not compress and th

Yes. If you ever have a small leak in the radiator or a hose or fitting, loosening the cap to reduce pressure can help you get home with the leak minimized (assuming you're not boiling, of course). R

You can't say a given radiator with a given pressure cap will overheat at a set number of degrees -- it would depend on the coolant mix (assuming nobody is crazy enough to run straight water), right?

The EGW (coolant) has a very slight effect on raising boiling point. I have to run, but will give exact info later. And I really hope you can predict when stuff overheats - that's what I do all day.

It is mandated by a local (Midwest) vintage racing authority (VSCDA) that I must run straight water in my cooling system. I can, however, add water pump lubricant and Water Wetter (real or "home-made

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

Remember, if the cap were "perfect", the pressure and boiling point would be higher. It may well be perfect - the coolant may be losing a few degrees by the time it's hit the overflow tank to where
