I want to apply this to help cool a radiator (for extremely hot racing conditions). If the tank is above the sprayers will they leak?

Yes if the tank is above the sprayer nozzles it will leak. There is no installed mechanism to prevent this included with the kit. I would try to mount the reservoir as low as possible to prevent this

Yes, probably. the pump is a centrifugal pump which does not seal when it's not operating so fluid drips out unless the outlet is higher than the level of fluid in the tank. Unless the sprayers seal below a certain pressure, fluid will drip out of them if they're below the tank.

All these leak sealers are pretty much similar to each other...they have a special chemical that solidifies when exposed to moisture in air. The theory is if you put these leak sealers into your a/c system and you have a tiny leak then if will be exposed to air moisture through that tiny hole and therefore solidify over the hole sealing the leak. But these leak sealers may or may not work... kind of a gamble. And if it doesn't work, the liquid leak sealers may become solid particles inside your entire a/c system contaminating it. Not worth the gamble to me.

Yes, just shake product very thoroughly, add K Seal and let vehicle run with heater on full for a while, even after leak stops. Make sure coolant level is adequate in overflow tank. Should seal after running a few minutes, but if added to overflow could take a little longer.

Could be, if the flow of air is not going over the cooling area it cannot cool it down. If this part fits your cooler buy it and try, it could be a really cheap fix...

No. This oil would degrade rapidly and most likely start forming a build up that would kill your radiator. Water Wetter as was previously suggested is the way to go, plus I don't think you'd pass tech if you had this in your rad.

Naturally it does seal small leaks as it seaps leaving material to close up the leak area and stopping the leak . But if the holes are to big of course it will do no good. As for your question states your leak is near the muffler baffles me because radiators are in the front of the vehicle and the muffler is usually at the rear. Unless what you mean to say is near the cat converter behind your engine. So all you can do is try and see. I would probably not recommend more than the recommended dose the instructions call for though.

No, it should not leak. Please align and distribute the gasket equally around periphery before locking and operation.

Yes! Need minimum coolant temperature to burn of water vapor in oil system, as well as need warmth for properCarburetor performance.

I don't think so, this is just a rubber protector and conditioner. It helps to keep rubber from drying out. Sounds like you might be beyond that. But you might give it a try if the leak is not to bad.

I have 2 of these and love them. But, no, if your put the CO2 cylinder in correctly and oil the top to keep the seals in good shape, it shouldn't leak down.

i used it in my volvo which has a plastic expansion tank and no problems. it won't fix big leaks but if you're losing just a little coolant over time and can't find the leak this is the stuff to use!

We used plumber's tape. It has not leaked at all from the connections. It does drip a few drops from the sprayer head right after I hang it back up though.

I am not sure that would work. The product is submerged in warm water then wrapped around the pipe. It seals tightly by adhering to the overlapped parts. Just not sure what would hold it in place on a radiator. Hope this helps.

I used this on our motorhome to prevent back flow from the black tank spray and it works, but water leaks out of the small holes in the valve every time the water supply is turned off. In our case this is a problem because it over flows into the water/sewage bay and leaks out on the ground.

I just bought it this winter. It has been out in the sleet and snow for just very short times, going from car to teachers studio. I have had no leakage under these circumstances. In the spring I plan on spraying it will a water repellent, just in case.

It has never leaked on me. We attached it to a 5 gallon igloo cooler and have been very happy. As long as the washers are affixed correctly, you shouldn't have any problems.

If it is leaking from under the cap, yes, If it is backing up from the area you are spraying, no.
