Pressure caps are a vital part of the cooling system of a vehicle as they seal the opening used to add water to the radiator. The liquid in the Auto radiator assists in preventing the vehicle's engine temperature from getting too hot or too cold. When the engine is running, the temperature of the liquid increased and the liquid starts to inflate, causing an increase in pressure in the automotive radiator. Most radiator pressure caps are designed to not only provide a watertight seal but also to act as a valve to release the pressure. If a radiator pressure cap is out of order, the consequence can be internal smash up to the engine. Cooling liquid will leak out of the automotive radiator and, as there will be a smaller amount liquid in the radiator, this could result in overheating troubles.


Motor vehicle manufacturers suggest that motorists have their radiator pressure caps tested at regular intervals.


We offer all type Fuel tank cap locking and non locking type. They are made by using high grade of raw materials and are resistant to heat, dust and corrosion. Our fuel tank cap suitable for Mercedes-Benz ,Volvo Cars and Trucks, Massey Ferguson Tractor, Zetor Tractor, Ursus Tractor, Escort Tractors, Mahindra Tractors and so on.

They are available in different sizes and are made according to the international standards and as per the customer needs.
Fuel tank cap importance

A fuel tank cap is a significant part of a vehicle's Fuel tank. even though small in size and cheap in price, a fuel filler cap provides a number of critical functions in regard to Fuel tank safety and reliability.

A Fuel cap prevents Fuel tank fumes from exiting a vehicle's fuel tank. Fuel vapors are known carcinogens that also supply to poor air quality. A Filler cap keeps these fumes and vapors safely contained within a Fuel tank.

A fuel cap helps to keep a vehicle's fuel supply below pressure, a pressure that helps fuel to flow more easily out of the fuel tank. Pressurized fuel is picked up by a vehicle's fuel pump much easier than no under pressure fuel





The range of Radiator pressure caps is obtainable to the clients at industry leading prices. These radiator caps are manufactured by employing the most up to date facilities that are available at our state – of – the – art infrastructure. What is more? We can make to order these radiator caps as per the exact requirement of our respected clients

Radiator Pressure cap

The radiator pressure cap is more than a cap for your radiator; it keeps your engine cool by sealing and pressurizing the coolant inside it. It is planned to hold the coolant in the radiator under a determined amount of pressure. If it was not kept under pressure, it would start to boil, and soon all the coolant would have boiled away. However, the radiator pressure cap prevents this from happening by exerting enough pressure to keep the coolant from boiling. If your cooling system is under too much pressure, it can “blow its top”! To prevent this, the radiator pressure cap has a pressure relief valve. The valve has a predetermined rating that allows it to take just up to an assured amount of pressure. When you turn the radiator cap on the radiator filler neck of the radiator, you seal the upper and lower sealing surfaces of the radiator filler neck.

The radiator pressure cap actually increases the boiling point of your coolant by about 25 C. How does this simple radiator cap do this? The same way a pressure cooker increases the boiling temperature of water. The radiator cap is actually a pressure release valve, and on trucks it is usually set to 15 psi. The boiling point of water increases when the water is placed under pressure.

The pressure relief valve spring is squashed against the lower seal when you lock the radiator cap. The filler neck has an overflow tube right between the two sealing surfaces. If the pressure in the cooling system exceeds the preset rating of your radiator cap, its pressure relief valve allows the lower seal to be lifted from its seat. Then the overload pressure (coolant, air) can squish through the overflow tube to the ground or the coolant reservoir.


What time the fluid in the automotive cooling system heats up, it expands, causing the force to build up. The radiator cap is the only place where this pressure can run away, so the setting of the spring on the radiator cap determines the highest pressure in the automotive cooling system. When the pressure reaches 14 -15 psi, the pressure pushes the valve open, allowing coolant to run away from the cooling system. This coolant flows through the overflow tube into the bottom of the overflow tank. This collection keeps air out of the system. When the radiator cools back down, a vacuum is twisted in the cooling system that pulls open another spring loaded valve, sucking water back in from the bottom of the overflow tank to replace the water that was excluded.
