 Topic: Leaking Radiator Hose
Posted: 21 Nov 2010 at 7:24am |
What do you fellas recommend as a sealer between the radiator hose (lower) and radiator. Was thinking of just using grease, but don't know if it will attack the hose. It leaks sometimes when the weather changes (not while running). The hose is almost new.

Why is there never time to do it right the first time, but always time to go back and fix it?

You could try two gear clamps,one pointing north, the other south. I do that on all my well and swimming pool hoses.The cost is next to nothing compared to the 'have to do it again' wasted time !

Constant tension hose clamps like what's used on late model cars. (spring clamps) I would think long term grease would attack the hose.

I use the black pemetex gasket maker. You can buy the bottles at any O'Reilly or auto parts store. It makes a real mess on your hands, but it is slick enough to help hoses slide, but forms a good bond with the hose and helps it stay put when you are done. Good luck!
