thx jfp...so i guess to test the system I should pump up the system to no more than 20 psi and watch for the needle to drop = losing pressure = have a leak...

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Pelican Parts: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

can someone help me with what the expansion tank cap is rated for pressure wise...and also, what pressure does the coolant system normally run at...? I need to check system pressure after replacing a water pump, thermostat & several hoses and before i add coolant...I dont want to over pressurize the system to check for leaks... thx, bob
