What should I do if the engine pipe leaks

The hose of engine radiator will age and break easily after long-term use. If the radiator inlet hose breaks during driving, the sprayed high-temperature water will form a mass of steam, which will be sprayed from under the engine cover. If you find this phenomenon, you should immediately find a safe place to park and then take emergency measures to solve it.

In general, cracks and leaks are most likely to occur at the joint of the radiator inlet hose. At this time, you can cut off the damaged part with scissors, then insert the hose back into the radiator inlet connector and fix it with clips or iron wires. If the crack is in the middle of the hose, you can tie up the leaking crack with tape. Wipe the hose clean before binding, and wrap the adhesive tape around the leaking hose after the leaking part is dry.

Because the water pressure in the hose is high when the engine is working, the tape should be wrapped as tightly as possible. If you don't have adhesive tape at hand, you can also wrap the crack with plastic paper first, then cut it into strips with old cloth and wrap it around the hose. Sometimes there is a big crack in the hose, and it may still leak after it is tied. At this time, the water tank cover can be opened to reduce the pressure in the waterway to reduce leakage. After taking the above measures, the engine speed should not be too high, so it is necessary to drive at a high grade as far as possible, and always pay attention to the pointer position of the water thermometer during driving. When the water temperature is found to be too high, stop the machine to cool down or replenish cooling water. In addition, you should go to the repair shop as soon as possible to replace the new water pipe.
