Radiator Leak Test, Removed From the Vehicle

NOTICE: Never leak test an aluminum radiator or Charge Air Cooler (CAC) in the same water that copper/brass radiators are tested in. Flux and caustic cleaners may be present in the cleaning tank and they will damage aluminum components.

NOTE: Clean the radiator or CAC before leak testing to avoid contamination of tank.

1. Leak test the radiator or CAC in clean water with pressurized air to the maximum pressure listed in the Specifications.
