Cooling system 'burper' installed.
G'day,here's some pics of the new cooling system 'burper' installed on the top hose in the Cherokee. As the top hose is higher than the radiator cap this allows me to get all the air out of the system.
It's a SAAS inline temp gauge housing unit from SuperCheap ($23), with a 1/8 bsp brass bung and a shortened 75 series Cruiser TD bottom hose as the adaptor piece.
Original top hose is retained,not cut. This is neccesary due to the main hose size being too small for the SAAS unit,with only the bellowed end fitting.
Works a treat,remove the bung and fill the radiator to the cap, start the engine, wait for the thermostat to open and reasonable heat of 90 or so, turn off engine, fill with coolant through bung until topped up (slowly to allow bubbles to escape) install bung with gas tape, DONE.
Very happy.
