MAYBE for a little while. Urban legend of car repair. A powdered repair like Silver Seal works better. It melts and then becomes solid and fills the hole when the steam leaks out.
Better to fix the problem than breakdown and have to walk...
The spring end faces towards the engine block and if the thermostat has a vent hole the hole is at the top of the thermostat
because it has a hole. or your radiator drain is loose
The spring faces the engine block ( and the vent hole goes to the top )
I don't have a picture of the engine cooling thermostat but on a 1995 Ford Explorer : If you follow the top radiator hose from the radiator it connects to a metal pipe ( which is part of the thermostat housing ) that is bolted to the front of the engine The engine cooling thermostat is inside the housing * the spring side of the thermostat faces towards the engine , the vent hole goes to the top
Drivers side bottom of radiator, if accessing from bottom there is a hole in the plastic under skirting that you can get to it from.
On a 2002 Ford Explorer : The ELECTRIC fuel pump is INSIDE the fuel tank . It is installed through an access hole on the top of the fuel tank .
well you have to rip the hole system out
On a 2000 Ford Explorer : The ELECTRIC fuel pump is INSIDE the fuel tank ( it is installed through an access hole in the top of the tank )
The spring goes towards the engine , and if the engine thermostat has a vent hole , the hole goes at the top
On my 1995 Ford Explorer , to lower the underbody spare tire , I open the liftgate and the access hole is located above the rear bumper at the center of the bumper ( I assume your Ford Aerostar would be similar )
Actually , there isn't an access hole . You have to drop the fuel tank to gain access to the electric fuel pump
a hole in the radiator
