ok so my jeep is shooting antifreeze from my recovery tank and i think it might be vapor locked if anyone has any ideas it will be very helpful

 

Try burping the system by sqeezing the upper most radiatior (sp) until it starts to feel firm with fluid.

 

Oooops forgot to mention take the lid off your coolent reservoir so it can purge out the air

 

i tried it for about 30mins and it didnt work idk whats going on with it

 

Have you checked for combustion gases with a 'block tester'? Could be something much worse than trapped air

 

It may be running too hot.....what cooling system maintenance has been done?

 

Vapor lock is a fuel issue not a cooling system issue. You have either an air pocket or you're over heating.

 

With the money youve dumped into this little guys cooling system you should have converted it to a open loop system. Secondly if you didnt back fill the system when the thermostat is closed you will (overflow) but once it opens up you should experiance basically the coolant system gulping down the fluid until its full. If its bubbling like a bastard.. you probably have a blown head....

 

My first thought was blown head gasket.

The Renix closed cooling system works fine as long as all the components are in good condition. Don't convert it.

 

ok i fixed the problem with a new coolant recovery tank i drove at about 85 for 60 miles and it did not do it again but..... i do have a new problem that involves oil pouring out of the bottom when i get up to high speeds for a long time lol im slowly slowly making progress in bringing a vihicle that has set for 8 years back to life

 

Check the crank case vent.

 

X2. Proper maintenance is all mine has ever needed.

 

Bottom of what?lol

 

1. Rear main.

2. Oil pan drain plug.

3. Oil filter adapter.

4. Pan gasket.

5. Timing cover.

7. Valve cover.

8. All of the above.

He said it sat up for 8 years. Wonder why? People don't just park a good running vehicle.

 

Same here. My renix sat for almost ten years....leaky pig.
