Radiator Surge Tank Inlet Hose/Pipe Replacement

Surge Tank Hose/Pipe Replacement - Inlet

Caution: 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.

1. Remove the intake manifold cover if equipped.




2. Remove the surge tank cap.




3. Reposition the surge tank inlet hose clamp.
