Before I could get out of the door to lend a hand, the car''s owner emerged from the steam cloud and sprinted for the office. Breathless and clearly shaken, the driver yelled as he came through the door, "Man, you got to help me! I think my Beemer is on fire. There is so much smoke, I can''t even see the engine." "Calm down." I said. "It''s only steam. You have a coolant leak. Why don''t you have a seat and we''ll let it cool down a little before we take a look at it."He seemed comforted by the fact that his car wasn''t going to burn to the ground. While the steam cloud was dissipating, I got all the necessary information from him and then went out to push the car into the shop for a detailed inspection.There was coolant all over the engine compartment, so at first, it was hard to pinpoint where the leak was coming from. We began filling the radiator and before it was full, water began to leak out of a hole in the upper radiator hose.

Mark/B-LOC: Aside from improper installation, the most common oversight we see is a failure to accurately quantify applied dynamic loads or, when this is not possible, to base selections on an appropriate safety factor. Before selecting a device, consider all types of loading acting on system components and either determine their peak values or apply a safety factor that is right for the job.Jeff/KTR: The majority of problems we''ve seen stem from improper selection. The dimensional tolerance of the hub and shaft must be correct to effectively maintain peak torque transmission of the clamping ingersolrandairtool elements. It''s also important ingersolrandairtool that the hub material be thick enough to prevent breakage when the elements are installed.Keith/U.S. Tsubaki: Hub dimensions that don''t match the manufacturer''s requirements can reduce holding power and lead to potential problems. Tightening the unit''s locking bolts ingersolrandairtool by "feel" or with crude air tools may create an unpredictable torque capacity.
