Tata safari coolant overflow
i did a radiator flush, and filled new coolant 10 days back. Today after a hard driving for 60 kms,. All of a sudden when i idled the engine when stoping at my home, the coolant overflew via the overflow tube. But the temp guage, was exactly at half and no signs of engine heating. The temp was so hot around 2 in the afternoon. Is there any problem with the cooling system that i should check? went for a ride for 20 kms in the evening no signs of the same.

Re: Tata safari coolant overflow
Well Pravin, what happens is when you drain old coolant and fill in fresh. There is a cetyain amount of air getting trapped in the plumbing. Which will eventually eject from the plumbing and gets out of the system through the coolant reservoir (plastic bottle). When this happens, the air bubbles do manage to push coolant out of the plumbing or radiator and into the plastic container.
Hence when ever you flush coolant and put back fresh, make sure you idle car for atleast 10 - 15mins, for all air bubbles to come out and ensure you DO NOT OVERFILL THE PLASTIC TANK.
The reason why 99% of all coolant reservoirs comes with a mark of "MAX" @ half the level of the can, is because the coolant expands when hot and contracts when cold, it needs space to do so, by overfilling the tank, you arent giving it space.
Here is a video of my nano's tank overflowing due to same mistake.

the coolant overflow that i repoerted in my dicor has been resurfacing . the coolant would overflow after 30 mins of driving and it happens at a rapid pace. the temprature would be at half mark.
while coming back from hyd, in mid afternoon for the first time temp went past quarter above half. I stopped the car and the colant has been leaking. waited till late night for the engine to cool and filled in coolant and drove to chennai. But there was no overflow this time around.
no check engine light blinking. Immediately took it to TASS and explained them. they did a check for 4 hours and said the head gasket is blown and needs immediate replacement.
I did not hesitate too do the work as the car has clocked 140,000. booked the service apointement. While coming back, i did decided to check with a road side mechanic. found a guy who works with heavy vechiles.
by the time i reached him, the coolant was leaking from the overflow bottle. the guy did a quick check and drove the car. He said there is no problem in engine or the cooling system. He asked me to change the radiator cap and he did not charge me.
i was![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")
tinking what a radiator cap will do. got a replacement cap and topped up the coolant and paked the car. next day i drove the car from chennai to trichy. there was no leak at all. i was suprised.
been 10 days and more than 1000 kms, no leaks. i visited the mechanic again. he said the radiator cap was not holding the pressure of the hot coolant as a result coolant was pushed through overflow tube.

Re: Tata safari coolant overflow
Usually there will be breeder hole in the thermostat that usually releases trapped air slowly, if it is clogged or excess air in the cooling system it over flows. Even though your temp needle stays in normal range you can check your cooling system efficiency by flowing simple procedure below.
If you have temp gauge like lengthy thermometer you can check inlet radiator and outlet radiator temp, the difference should be approximately 5 degree from radiator fan on to off. If radiator could not able to bring that much diff or fan continuously running then you need to check your cooling system.
