NEW UPDATED VIDEO Cold weather tip, Cat water pump cavitate and vibrate

[Mark Saiger]

I had done another post earlier/ tread, but today it happened again, so I could record it.

It was -20 below zero degrees again today and I was cleaning solo.... (no grandson as of yet but a very cranky pregnant lady....LOL)

ALSO, Butler called me today and asked me to pass on one more thing.

Besides the water pump cavitating, and starving for water since the vent and overflow tube can get plugged.....if you try to fill the tank in that situation (plugged vent tube) they have had people who's tanks have ballooned and even broke braces....

So....I am showing what has happened.

It has only happened when I just fill my tank to the top, drive in -20 below or colder weather, and the overflow tube starts to leak and drip around corners and on our fine rumble strip MN roads.

Here was the original thread for reference....

Mark on all by butlers, when I get them home. I use a razor blade and make a 6 inch slice in the breather hose inside the van. This will prevent this from happening.(not the freezing the end)

Great tip !!

Why is the hose down so far? Can the hose be shortened to hover the warmer part of the engine?
