Hi,
my Rans S6 with a 912 UL has a .9bar cap fitted, I want to replace it but can only get the 1.2 bar cap will this be OK.
Why do they fit different caps to certain engines?

    The .9 bar (13 psi) was an earlier cap. They are all 1.2 bar (17.4 psi) bar now so you are good to go with that one. 18 psi coolant caps are fairly standard in many engines nowadays.

    hi,

    i have 914 HOMEBUILT Aircraft.

    on 50/50 DEX COOLANT, i have run the Engine i.e SUFFIX01, the COOLANT become boiled at 115C. IT filled the expansion bottle at 115% THROTTLE. i was worried.

    should i go for FLYING? whereas ambient TEMPERATURE was 39C during Ground run.

    what to do?

    If you boiled at 115°C, your radiator cap vented at 0.7 Bar instead of 1.2 Bar. 

    1.2 Bar does not boil until 124°C.
