Hi there I foolishly losty the cap from my expansion tank. :oops: (Yes I know.)
I amangaed to buy a replacement from Halfords that was off the MAzda b2500 series engine. However I notice that the blow off pressure is 0.9 bar and that the radiator is 1.1 bar. Does any one know what the correct pressure should be?
If a kind soul could check their cap I would be grateful.

Stuart.

My coolant cap is a 1.1 bar and works o.k. I assume it is the same as the radiator cap :lol:
