Losing coolant

[Don Bradner]

It would compress until it reached the pressure setting of the cap, after which
air would escape from the cap.

Fluid would only escape when it is hot enough to expand to fill the entire tank,
at which point it would escape sufficiently to maintain the same pressure.

Expansion is temperature related. Mine gets hotter than yours, because you've
replaced your alarmstat for a lower-temp one, right?

Mine peaks normally at 197 unless the fan is overridden and constantly on.

My problem with assuming that's the issue is that I've pushed 200 on hills in
the past, including on this trip, without losing coolant.
