Running without radiator caps???

[meledson]

mas mabilis mag evaporate at natatapon ang tubig pag walang radiator cap. Delikado sa overheat.

May mga old cars na tumataas ang temp pag di puno ang radiator.

The adverse effects of running without your radiator cap, you've already experienced.

The cooling system is designed to run under pressure.

This is the reason why you should not fill the coolant reservoir completely since once the mixture heats and expands in your system, the excess will go to the reservoir and once things cool a bit, it sucks the excess back into the system.

This will not work effectively if there is no pressure.

Replace your missing cap as soon as possible and be careful to avoid the same situation in the future.

Hope this helps.

ibili mo na ng cap baka may masira pa sa tsikot mo, P90 lang yung silicon-type na radiator cap sa auto supply.

Buy a new radiator cap. Mura lang yan. Kung walang cap, ubos ang tubig at overheat ang resulta.

Radiator caps also acts as a pressure relife valve. It also increases your coolants boiling point to around 126 Celcius. Here is the explanation:

wow thanks sa inyo guys overwhelmed naman ako sa mga replies.. anyways nakabili na ako ng rad cap and observe ko muna kung ok naman yung sasakyan hopefully wala naman maging problema.. thanks ulit!!! more power to tsikot!!!

buti hindi umusok yung harapan mo (boil-out) delikado yun

if you're looking to replace your old oem caps, i highly recommend federal mogul. im using them on our 3 vehicles. hth

if it doesn't exhibit any weird behavior then it should be ok.

theory: kung bakit kailangan pressure tight ang engine cooling system (that includes the rad cap). plain water and at atmospheric pressure will boil sa 100 deg C, raising the pressure will raise the boiling point (boyle's law ba un or charle's law he he forgot ko na). kaya kailangan pressurize ang system and adding coolant will also raise the boiling point.

saan ba makakabili ng radiator cap?
