Removal Procedure
Warning: With a pressurized cooling system, the coolant temperature in the radiator can be considerably higher than the
boiling point of the solution at atmospheric pressure. Removal of the surge tank cap, while the cooling system is hot and under
high pressure, causes the solution to boil instantaneously with explosive force. This will cause the solution to spew out over
the engine, the fenders, and the person removing the cap. Serious bodily injury may result.
