How to Stop Radiator Leaks

How to Stop Radiator Leaks – Radiators simple devices that radiate heat in vehicles, electronics and building, and they do it in the process of thermal radiation. According to Wikipedia he is doing it in cars with a liquid-cooled internal combustion engine. A radiator connected to the channels and flows through the engine cylinder head, through which coolant is pumped. This fluid may be water (in climates where water is unlikely to freeze), but more often a mixture of water and antifreeze in proportions suitable to the climate. As well as a small amount of corrosion inhibitor. Radiator transfers heat from the outside air into the liquid, thereby cooling the engine.

If the radiator was leaking it can cause overheating radiator leak but rather a quick fix, and in some cases temporary decision can be made until more permanent fix can be achieved.

Materials Needed

Duct Tape
Ground black pepper
Eggs
Cornmeal
Tools Required:
Gloves (optional)
Instructions

The first step is the most important to it to ensure that the engine is off and cool enough that the radiator

Determine the source of the leak

If a leak is found in the hose can be fixed with duct tape duct tape last about a week, which gives time for the hose to replace

If a leak is found in the radiator where it is ground black pepper comes to remove the radiator cap making sure it is not hot. Add one or two tablespoons of black pepper. Pepper lodges in the hole and is inflated when the water thus effectively seal the opening.

Eggs and cornmeal function in a similar capacity, as black pepper, when the water in the radiator reaches boiling an egg spread and harden as the blocking of the leak and its basically the same for maize flour.

Replace the cover on the radiator
As soon as possible to schedule an appointment with the mechanic and tell him about the time taken, if in solving problems.

Advice

In some cases, black pepper seal leakage is so good that it can last for a long period of time.
