another air in system problem

UpAllNight · 06-11-2002, 02:28 PM

I have a odd air problem

i can let it run and get all the air out(can see any tiny air bubbles in my clear lines)thats rocking my puter back and forth so no air is held in my rad...then let it run for 24 hr's and telt my computer agin and here come the air bubbles out of my rad again(repeat the same process again) and the next 24 hr's the same bubbles come out out my rad...my water level in my T line keeps droping to.

is it just a small leak allowing a small amout of air in my line(so small i cant see the bubbles)and this builds up in my rad?

please help this has been goin on for 2 weeks now

i didnt have this problem till i added a w/b on my gpu which cut down my flow rate

all fittings have clamps on them to

Try just removing all the connections and putting them all back on and then putting the clamps back on. Other possiblility could be a loose housing on your pump (if it has one), a pinhole in your radiator, or a fitting that is not tight enough (Mase3 perhaps?).

Also one of your hoses could be pulled too tight causing a very tiny leak. Another thought is that if your clamps are TOO tight, you may be introducing a leak. They should be snug but not crimped.

Finally, if you seem to be loosing water, you probably are...... use your fingers to probe around your pump, radiator, block, and hoses to see if you can feel any moisture seeping out.

Good luck.

i have done this and have not found the tinest bit of moisture

if air is getting in my system could it be that it evaporating?this being the reason why im losing water

could it be sucking air in a so small of a amount that u cant even see the air bubbles

...or it could be ya just got air trapped in your system still and its slowly comming out (hence the bubbles in rad and lowering water level in res / fill tube).

i have thought of that to...or maybe not enough flow rate to keep the air from hanging in my rad and not getting out my t line

You probably don't have the flow rate to clear the rad anymore. That's my guess.

If you're getting new air in, then you'll need to clamp everything a little tighter.
