A valve in the expansion tank allows the exhaust of steam at a pressure of
1.4 bars, and the release of water at a pressure of 1.8 – 2.0 bars. Air is
drawn through the valve as the cooling system cools down.
The bleed valve in the standard production car improves the initial
reaction from the heating system; the valve remains open in the race car
system allowing the system to be bled continuously.
A special filling system available from Sobek should be used to fill the
water system. The filling system consists of an electric pump that pumps
water from a tank into the system.
