The cooling system uses pressurized coolant (also known as antifreeze) to take accumulated heat away from the engine. Having a functional radiator cap is critical to this process, as it maintains the proper amount of pressure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each radiator cap is rated for a certain amount of pressure it can hold (e.g. 0.9 bar, 13 PSI, etc). Different cooling systems call for different pressures. It is important to buy a radiator cap that matches the factory specification.<\/p>\n<p>Pressurizing the cooling system is necessary to increase the boiling point of the coolant. This enables the liquid to hold more heat before evaporating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-504641\" src=\"http:\/\/cartreatments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/how-radiator-cap-works.jpg\" alt=\"how a radiator cap works\" width=\"720\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cartreatments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/how-radiator-cap-works.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cartreatments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/how-radiator-cap-works-100x48.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Most engines have a normal operating temperature right around the boiling point of water (212\u00b0 F). If the coolant in the engine were to boil, it would not effectively cool the engine since a gas will not remove heat from the system nearly as well as a liquid will.<\/p>\n<p>A cooling system at optimal pressure enables the engine to run more efficiently and protects it from damage.<\/p>\n<p>Coolant is usually made up of water and antifreeze in a one-to-one ratio. The water absorbs the heat from the engine and the antifreeze further raises the boiling point of the coolant.<\/p>\n<p>Evaporation of coolant is undesirable because gaseous coolant will either leave the system entirely through a leak or will take up more space than it should which causes overpressurization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To avoid overpressurizing, which can damage components of the system, a spring-loaded valve on the radiator cap vents excess coolant into the <a href=\"http:\/\/cartreatments.com\/radiator-coolant-overflow-tank\/\">expansion tank<\/a> (also known as reservoir). Under lower pressure, the cap draws the coolant back into the cooling system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Please note:<\/strong> since the cooling system is hot and under pressure when the vehicle has been running, it is very important that you never open the radiator cap until the vehicle has cooled completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you attempt to remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm, the coolant (likely as hot as boiling water) would shoot out and could seriously injure you; third degree burns are a very real possibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you\u2019re unsure, carefully feel the hoses.

This could also happen if the radiator cap fails to allow excess pressure to bleed into the coolant reservoir when the system reaches the target pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Since substances naturally take the path of least resistance, the weakest point will leak coolant if the system is overpressurized. The leak may be at the cap itself, gaskets, hoses, <a href=\"http:\/\/cartreatments.com\/water-pump-symptoms-and-cost\/\">water pump<\/a>, or the actual <a href=\"http:\/\/cartreatments.com\/clogged-radiator-symptoms-and-replacement-cost\/\">radiator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can determine where the leak is by warming up the vehicle to pressurize the system and then carefully looking for leaks under the hood. Since different vehicles use different types of coolant, it can be either bright green, orange, red, yellow, or blue.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes these leaks will only manifest at operating temperature or after driving for a while. Since the system is under pressure, you may notice a leak spraying from a coolant hose into the engine bay, or even straight up into the air!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To locate the source of a leak, wait until the engine has cooled then pinch hoses in the vicinity of the suspected leak. If you notice coolant bleed out when you pinch a hose, that\u2019s the one you need to replace.<\/p>\n<p>Coolant hoses are cheap and easy to replace yourself.

Of course, never do this when the vehicle is still hot to avoid getting a bad burn!

You can try cleaning it with water and a toothpick, though it\u2019s usually better to just replace it since it\u2019s relatively cheap and engine failure is an expensive potential alternative.<\/p>\n<p>You can also get a radiator pressure tester to check for pressure leaks in the system. Always replace the radiator cap with one of the same pressure rating.<\/p>\n<p>If you replace the cap with one that takes a higher pressure before the valve opens, the vehicle can over-pressurize which causes other issues such as overheating or hose rupture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also a good idea to check the other parts such as the reservoir and hoses for cracks and other issues while you\u2019re in there.<\/p>\n<p>Since the symptoms of a bad radiator cap mirror those of other cooling system problems, there could possibly be two weak points at the same time.
