Water is put in a radiator because it is used to transfer heat from the engine to the outside environment through the process of convection. The water absorbs heat from the engine and then circulates through the radiator to release it, helping to cool the engine and prevent it from overheating.
A radiator can leak water due to a cracked or corroded radiator, loose connections, a faulty radiator cap, or overheating causing pressure buildup. It is important to identify the cause of the leak and address it promptly to avoid damaging the engine or causing overheating.
The lower radiator hose supplies the water pump. The upper radiator hose supplies the radiator.
If the radiator is not pulling water from the reservoir even with a new cap, there may be an issue with the radiator itself such as a clog, a faulty radiator inlet/outlet, or a malfunctioning water pump. It is recommended to have the radiator system inspected by a professional to diagnose and resolve the problem.
A radiator can lose water due to a leak in the radiator itself, a leak in a hose connected to the radiator, or a faulty radiator cap that doesn't maintain proper pressure. Regular maintenance checks can help identify and address any issues to prevent water loss.
Water may boil in a radiator due to high engine temperatures, low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, or a malfunctioning radiator cap. When the cooling system is unable to regulate the engine temperature effectively, the water in the radiator can reach its boiling point and create steam. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent engine damage.
You don't put water in your radiator, you put antifreeze.
No. Let it cool down before you open the radiator cap and then put water in the radiator

You can put ice in your radiator. Keep in mind that the ice is just water and you should have SAE certified anti-freeze in your radiator
There is a white plastic bottle next to the radiator cap. This is where you put the water. there is a mark saying full . if you go beyond this by mistake it wont do any harm in my experience. the water is sucked from this into the radiator.
I like pie a lot
the water overflow tank

Remove the bottom radiator hose on your 1996 Chevy Lumina radiator. Put a water hose in the top of the radiator. Allow the water hose to run until the water draining from the bottom of the radiator runs clear.
In the radiator Mr.brown
