What makes the water in the reservoir boil out on my car?

The water in the reservoir might boil out in your car if your thermostat is not working correctly. You might also be having an issue with your cooling fan.


Does the water in the radiator reach a boil?

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.


What does an increase in pressure on the surface of water do to the boiling point?

It will raise the boiling point. This why, for example, car radiators have a pressure cap. This causes a rise in the boiling point of the water and it is less likely to boil.


Is there any difference between boiling point of water and blood?

Yes, for many reasons, just a few of which are: water is a compound and blood is a mixture the water component of blood also has compounds dissolved in it (water-based solutions have higher boiling points than water itself...this is why the water/antifreeze solution in your car doesn't boil at 100° C).


Can water boil at 95 or 105 degrees?

Yes it can. This has to deal with colligative properties of water. You can change the boiling point of water by mixing it with something else. This is exactly why we use antifreeze mixed with water in our car's radiators. The mixture raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point of water. Another way to "boil" water at a lower temperature is to place it in a vacuum. When the pressure drops below the vapor pressure of water the water will boil!!

Why won't car hear up?

If you mean "Heat" then your thermostat has been removed or is stuck open and the water just flows around in the cooling system and your car won't heat. If you meant "Hear", I would have to guess because it doesn't have ears :-)


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.

What is distilled water in a car battery made of?

Water that's been distilled. Means you let it boil, collect the steam and cool the steam back into water.


Car cooling system - Why does the water not circulate at certain times causing water to boil in bottle?

Because you have a fault. You need to take it to a garage to be fixed.


I can hear water like a tap running when driving my car and also putting 3 pints of water a day into radiator?

Your Heater Core is most likely leaking. Your heater core is under the dash inside the car which is why you can hear it, and also why you need to continually fill up the water.


What does it mean when you try to start your car and it makes the sound you hear when you try to start a car that's already started?

Starter or flywheel problem.


What causes a 2001 cadillac deville to boil water?

bad water pump, low coolant, blown headgaskets, if the car has been overheated, there is a good chance the head gaskets are blown


How do you check car thermostat in a pot of water?

Put thermostat in cold water on stove top. Turn on burner and when water begins to boil you should see it open if it is functional. Then prepare to be yelled at by your wife for doing it.
