Water in a car radiator does not normally boil. In some old cars, the cooling systems would run at about 220 degrees Fahrenheit. The pressure would be high enough so that the water would boil at 250 degrees. Today, you do not put water in radiators but coolant. It is much more efficient than water for cooling engines.

Dose hot boil faster than cold water?
Water must reach 100° C before it will boil. Since hot water is closer to 100° C than cold water is, hot water will boil quicker than cold water goes once you have started to heat it.
Will salt water boil or will regular water boil?
salt water will boil. also will freshwaer
What is the time needed for water to boil and the effect of adding salt?
The time needed for water to boil depends on various factors such as the heat source and the amount of water. Generally, it takes around 5-10 minutes for water to boil. Adding salt to water increases its boiling point, meaning it takes longer for saltwater to reach boiling point compared to plain water. However, the difference in boiling time is minimal and may not be noticeable in everyday cooking.
Will rainwater and sea water boil at the same temperature?
Sea water will boil at higher temp
How does thermal energy from a radiator reach the other side of the room?
Hot air from a radiator reaches the other side of a room by convection current. Convection current is when hot water/ air rises, hot water/ air cools, cool water/ air sinks, cool water/ air warms and then the cycle starts over.
Why does the water in a car radiator sometimes boil explosevly when the radiator cap is removed?
Water under pressure has a higher boiling point, if the water is already hot enough to boil it will suddenly erupt when the cap is removed and pressure relieved.
In a 1996 Plymouth Neon what causes the water to boil in the reservoir?
replace your radiator cap...
Will water boil faster if there is less of it?
A small amount of water will reach it's boiling point sooner than a large amount of water. It will not boil faster.
What causes water to boil in the radiator reservoir?
Can be the thermostat which is cheap to replace, or it might be the head gasket which is expensive.
Does the water boil faster with more water?
Slower, the more water, the more time required to reach boiling temp.
Why does water boil out of radiator and built a pressure?
It's a pressurized system. When it exceeds cap release pressure, it comes out.
You have changed the radiator cap the thermostat the water pump is new and recently changed radiator the radiator stopped the frequenrt overheating but now very rarely it overheats and coolant boil?
Blown head gasket?
Dose hot boil faster than cold water?
Water must reach 100° C before it will boil. Since hot water is closer to 100° C than cold water is, hot water will boil quicker than cold water goes once you have started to heat it.
What causes boil over in a 1998 Chrysler Concorde?
Low coolant, inoperative radiator fans, stuck thermostat, failed water pump, restricted radiator, head/headgasket.
What is cause for the water in the radiator to boil in your ford focus?
possibly a bad head gasket you might need more coolant
Why would water boil in your radiator but the temp gauge is at normal?
Because the temp gauge is not giving you the temperature of the water/steam in the radiator. You may have a bad head gasket or a cracked head causing the coolant to have that boiling effect.
Can you put water in the radiator of a 2001 gmc Yukon?
As a very temporary emergency situation, yes. Without a proper mixture of coolant and water the water will boil at 212°F.
