<DIV>You just turned on a light bulb Pat... I’ve been using those little
tubing caps that you buy off the “HELP” rack in the auto parts stores... not
using ‘real’ heater hose... so Pat, you answered my query... I’ll cut a short
piece of heater hose... real thick heater hose and plug it... then install it...
I’ll bet that does last more than those little caps... Thanks Pat
and all that offered suggestions !!!</DIV>

<DIV>Heater hose should last longer than a few years, so put a stub of hose on
the fitting & plug the hose. </DIV>

<DIV>Hi Guys... got a Generac 30kw standby generator... it has a ford v-6 3.0
engine. The water pump has a heater hose outlet pipe... typical metal pipe
with a bubble flare at the hose end where you clamp on the heater hose.. since
the generator has no heater this fitting has a rubber cap held on by a screw
clamp... every couple of years this cap deteriorates and either sprays
antifreeze every dang where or just seeps till the coolant level is below the
sensor and the generator will not run (no/low coolant fault).. the metal fitting
seems to be press fit into the water pump (no obvious threads or hex fitting to
screw it out. I don’t want to screw it up and it cost me a new water
pump... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>the question... is there another way to seal this metal fitting permanently
instead of the cap that deteriorates ?? something plastic or metal that
can stand the heat and vibration and not leak I’m about ready to drive a
wooden plug in it !!! somebody has got to make something that will
work...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>shop content... it keeps the lights on in my shop when it’s running (and
not leaking antifreeze)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>thanks</DIV>
<DIV>John</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>
