Default Re: CP30 Pump = Leaking IC

by using a lower temp thermostat he is also reducing the amount of pressure build up in the coolant system.
hope i understood you woody!
You also need to pump the tester up until the maximum pressure of the cooling system. If there is a fast leak the max psi may not need to be obtained before the leak is revealed.
