Dear Group,
First .....HAPPY JULY 4TH TO ALL
My car overflow tank and pressure tank where recently restored and painted
.
After installation I noticed that the overflow tank is higher than the
pressure tank. (Radiator caps are not even) Is that the way the tanks should
be or should the overflow be lower than the pressure tank.
The reason I am asking is because the other night when the car was cold I
opened the pressure tank to put in more antifreeze. I had the back of the
car jacked up and I proceeded to add antifreeze to the pressure tank. I
filled to the top of the neck and then started the car with the cap off. As the
car heated up the antifreeze was pouring out of the pressure tank . Is that
because the thermostat was not opened yet? I hurried to close the system
so the antifreeze would stop pouring out. Should I have waited for the
level to go down before rushing to get the radiator cap back on?
Suggestions?
Regards,
Bob Levitt
