Radiator Pressure Cap - Chevrolet 1998 Express Van Owner's Manual

Adding Coolant
If you
need more coolant, add the proper
DEX-COOL'
coolant mixture at the coolant recovery tank.
I
Wrning 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 coolant mixture at the recovery tank, but be careful
not to spill it.
A
CAUTION:
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.
Radiator Pressure Cap
The radiator pressure cap must be tightly installed with
the arrows on the cap lined up with the overflow tube on
the radiator filler neck.
NOTICE:
Your radiator cap is a pressure-type cap and
must be tightly installed to prevent coolant loss
and possible engine damage from overheating.
Be sure the arrows on the cap line up with the
overflow tube on the radiator filler neck.
