and matches the OEM 7 psi pressure rating and it can be used with and without a
vented coolant overflow tank. The radiator cap has three important jobs: seal
the radiator, regulate the pressure of the cooling system and allow coolant to
leave the system as it expands and an optional 4th job is to bring coolant
back as it contracts. I would not suggest buying a radiator cap that does
clearly state the pressure rating. Our older cars won't tolerate a high pressure
cooling system.</font></span></div>
