Engine Cooling System Pressure Test
1. Test the system pressure capacity by removing the air
bleed hose that connects the expansion tank to the
coolant outlet manifold on the intake--side of the
engine.
2. Insert a small bolt or plastic plug into the end of the
bleed hose and secure with small gear clamp.
3. Attach a Mity Vact hand pump to the expansion tank
air bleed nipple. Pressurize the expansion tank to 10 --
15 psi (.7 -- 1 bar). The internal engine cooling circuit
should maintain the pressure.
4. A drop in pressure may indicate a worn or damaged
hose, loose hose connection, or engine--related
mechanical damage.
