Default Cooling System Pressure - Allisport Radiator Cap Replacement

My Allisport radiator cap needs replacing (leaking). Getting in touch will Allisport and getting a replacement will take time since I live in Canada and they are in the UK.

I believe I can get a generic replacement here from Napa. Anyone know what psi pressure our cooling system is running?

Thanks!

Found it on the Motorad site. It is 20 psi.

I just did the same thing. I have the same tank. That 20 psi imo is to high. My tank would stay full I switched to the motor rad 16 psi and now the tank runs about half way. Less pressure the better for me

The Allisport tank was provided through my local shop when they installed the Turner engine. The shop themselves have said Allisport has not been very responsive. This is why it is best that I look for a replacement on my own.

Interestingly, the Allisport website says lifetime warranty. Sadly, it is pointless if they do not respond.
