leave cap off
make sure fill with antifreeze and start car allow it to warm up and watch u should be able to see the water flow this will allow the air to come out per air pockets are a big cause... now buy a new radiator cap per this also small but cause a big prob... also while watching the water flow flow if bubbles stay present it could be head gasket this pushes combustion
gas thru and can cause antifreeze to dicipate hence why u keep having to put more unless yur pump
leaking or hose this the only other way u will get low on anti freeze... hope this helps it took me a while to figure out so i did nt have to spend lots of cash on a mech that wouldnt probably now this either top secrets lol... they wont tell u its all biz... hope this helps

Gas Company can't «un-spew» the 83,000 metric tons of climate - changing methane that it passed into the gentle wind above Porter Ranch, Los Angeles these past few months just by labeling it a mistake (which it has); but it does have to
make the 2,300 neighbors whole — as well as the rest of the planet, perhaps in part by paying to suck the methane out of a few hundred dairy farms before it
leaks into the air.
Uncertainty about the magnitude of methane emissions from

-- Muller believes humans are changing climate with CO2 emissions — humans have been responsible for «most» of a 0.4 C warming since 1957, almost none of the warming before then — IPCC is in trouble due to sloppy science, exaggerated predictions; chairman will have to resign — the «Climategate» mails were not «hacked» — they were «
leaked» by an insider — due to «hide the decline» deception, Muller will not read any future papers by Michael Mann — there has been no increase in hurricanes or tornadoes due to global warming — automobiles are insignificant in overall picture — China is the major CO2 producer, considerably more than USA today — # 1 priority for China is growth of economy — global warming is not considered important — China CO2 efficiency (GDP per ton CO2) is around one - fourth of USA today, has much room for improvement — China growth will
make per capita CO2 emissions at same level as USA today by year 2040 — if it is «not profitable» it is «not sustainable» — US energy future depends on shale
gas for automobiles; hydrogen will not be a factor — nor will electric cars, due to high cost — Muller is upbeat on nuclear (this was recorded pre-Fukushima)-- there has been no warming in the USA — Muller was not convinced of Hansen's GISS temperature record; hopes BEST will provide a better record.

If true, this means that we should immediately
make big efforts to
make sure that our existing natural
gas infrastructure is as
leak - proof as possible (something that is no doubt already done because it
makes financial sense, but it can't hurt to be extra diligent), and we should be very careful about switching more transportation to natural
gas.
Hence in this latter comparison, which primarily compares the effect of the CO2 and CH4 emitted by these two sectors (and hence the
