Experts recommend checking truck radiators and using a high-end leak stopper

June 29, 2015
The radiator is one of the fundamental mechanical parts of trucks and transport vehicles, but it is also sometimes largely forgotten by drivers and road professionals. The use of a quality leak stopper can avoid many scares and many breakdowns.
Experts recommend checking truck radiators and using a high-end leak stopper
The radiator of a vehicle, whether it is an industrial vehicle, a truck or a private car, is much more delicate than it seems and it is not always given all the attention it needs. Being located in a relatively unprotected area, the radiator is subject to receiving the impact of small stones, insects or metallic or plastic materials that accumulate on the asphalt of the road. For this reason, before making a trip or a long trip, experts recommend visually checking the radiator to rule out cracks or leaks and also to remove any element (generally leaves or insect remains) that hinder its proper functioning and entry. from air. It is also considered a good time to do a small check on the radiator when the vehicle body is washed or cleaned.
It is also recommended to replace the antifreeze fluid at least once every two years, in addition to replenishing it periodically. In no case is it advisable to replace the antifreeze with water to fill the tank (not even in summer) since the radiator could corrode.
An anecdote that illustrates the importance of radiators is what happened to the Finnish driver of a Ford Anglia from 1967 (the one in the photo) that was abandoned 40 years ago in a remote forest in Finland simply because the radiator was leaking and the engine had seized. At first, the owner of the Anglia thought of getting the car back, since the breakdown was not very serious, but he kept putting it off and putting it off until he forgot. But the funny thing about the case is that a few months ago, the owner of the Ford remembered the incident and, accompanied by his son, decided to go in search of the car. The funny thing about the case is that he found it in exactly the same place where he abandoned it four decades earlier and (most surprisingly) practically intact. No one had taken a single piece of it.
