Turning the radiator pressure cap when the
engine and radiator are hot can allow steam and
scalding liquids to blow out and burn
you
badly.
With the coolant recovery tank,
you
will
almost
never have to add coolant at the radiator.
Never turn the radiator pressure cap
--
even a
little
--
when the engine and radiator are
hot.
Add
DEX-COOL@
coolant mixture at the recovery
tank, but be careful not to spill
it.
You
can be burned
if
you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,
and it will burn
if
the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't
spill
coolant on a hot engine.
