Radiator Leak Test, Removed From Vehicle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Never leak test an aluminum radiator in the same water that copper/brass radiators are tested in. Flux and caustic cleaners may be present in the testing tank and they will damage aluminum radiators.
NOTE: Clean the radiator before leak testing to avoid contamination of tank.

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