TGHTEN RADIATION cAP.

Many car owners have trouble with
leakage at the radiator cap, The rea-
son for this is that the velocity Of the
water circulation exceeds the capacity
OF the radiator or there may be some
condition in the cooling system whereby
boiling takes place faster than the, over
flow will take It off. To cure the
trouble make a gasket Of red fiber lis
on an inch thick and place 1t over the
Iiller cap This serves to prevent the
cap from working loose and also keeps

the radiator with blotches Of rust.
