kapag tinanggal mo ang cap, the boiling point is 100 deg C. lagyan mo ng cap, higher than 100 C. higher P, higher T.
for the record, hindi totoo na ethylene glycol (prestone coolant, etc., etc.) prevents boil-over of the engine coolant...."it raises the boiling boilng of the coolant mix to certain degree (depende sa mix)". same same sa function ng radiator cap.
ibalik mo thermostat nyan asap. ganun din yang sensor circuit for the fans. regarding hoses, dapat hindi masyado matigas ang upper hose (bypass hose included) at di rin masyado malambot ang lower hose.
maiba tayo ng usapan, baka naman hindi kunektado sa cooling system yang problem ng auto mo. like leaking head gasket, tight bearings, lubrication problem, etc.
