Coolant Pressure Control Cap

[Pete Masterson]

I understand that many of the tour busses that run from LA to Las
Vegas run with a radiator spray system. They install a 55 gal tank,
pump, etc. and run the sprayer as needed during the run. LA water is
generally, not particularly hard, but some build up does occur. The
radiators are washed down with a mild vinegar solution (and rinsed
thoroughly) from time to time to counteract the build up.
