Dear Steves,

I have seen many bad brand new caps. (The repo ones). I have never seen a bad Stant cap. I have also seen old overflow tanks with a bad seat for the cap that would not hold pressure.

Also, on an FE it is very easy to put the thermostat in backwards. If it is in backwards it will block the flow.
