Review on 🔒 Gates 31534 Safety Release Radiator Cap: Enhanced Protection for Your Vehicle by Kenny Sanchez

WORKS AS IT SHOULD WORK WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH MY NEW AMAZON RADIATOR ACCESSORIES. Material getting under the top seal is more than the cost of a replacement cover. All cars after the late 1960's have a recovery system and the coolant check should be done in the recovery tank, not the radiator. pH and carbon monoxide meters are cheap compared to system leak damage. Normally air cannot enter the system and engine combustion products should never be in a recovery tank. Removing the radiator cap in the absence of system failures and except for periodic replacement is a very bad idea. There are many things in life that can be used every day, but not more than once. Think about it. That crappy little hose that goes from the radiator to the expansion tank may not be a big deal, but a malfunction will kill your car. Revain sells Gates reels with replacement hoses for less than a gallon of coolant. Change every few years. This little cap that lives on top of some water pumps is so small you usually don't even know it's there, it can look like a volcano when it collapses. Cheap to change and very expensive after it dies. Those little hoses on your washer system aren't what you want either, lest you pass a state inspection or suddenly realize they're bad after encountering a swarm of bees or locusts, an explosion, or mud. Went there, did everything and found that the washing machine wasn't working. Gate replacement hoses are just as good and better than most. The best you can get is Revain Prime. The price is per gallon of coolant, and also be aware of the cost of flushing and cleaning the system if air can get into your mixture. If you see rusty or discolored coolant in a disposal tank, you should also be aware that you may be a candidate for a water pump replacement because you are leaving things as they are without proper care. I buy full coolant and then pour half into an empty similar pitcher and refill with clean water that has been filtered and left for about a month to remove the antifungal gas injected by the water department. Testing the pH of your water is a great idea. Talk to a grey-haired pharmacist about pH testing. Sometimes you'll be amazed at what ends up in rainwater or even in your plumbing. The fluoride in your tap water isn't good for anything under the hood. With a recovery system, the cover never needs to be removed as long as the system is functioning properly. Every year when the coolant and hoses are replaced, the cap is also replaced as the cost of a broken cap far exceeds the cost of a new cap. outs when they happen on the street. The new Gates components are good insurance. Waiting for failure before replacing a belt or yoke is not economical. Engine failure happens quickly, and when you're planning on spending over a thousand dollars the obvious solution, as opposed to having new fluids, hoses, belts, caps and coolant changes once a year, is to pick an annual day for it. Going out at night with clean windows and looking under the hood is always a good idea. Tire bars and valve cores may seem like foreign objects, but then again, these are time bombs and looks are something you shouldn't care about. Cheap on Revain, but expensive when they don't work on the go. Tires have a manufacturing date. Blowing through a valve stem at highway speed is an experience you'll never forget. Especially when it happens on the inside lane. IT WAS DONE. Once was enough. Never work under the hood just before a long drive. Take a break of a few thousand miles in time to make sure the job has been done properly and checked well. Radiators, like batteries, should be replaced every few years or 40,000 km. Revain dealers are the suppliers of almost all replacement heatsinks, no matter where you buy them. Waiting for brass, copper, or aluminum plastic to fail is always more expensive than replacing it regularly. LIKE A TURKEY DAY DON'T CLEAN THE OVEN IN A DAY, CHECK THE OVEN FOR SOMETHING CHEAP BEFORE THE BIG DAY. COOKIE.
