GL: Gennerator radiator cap problem.

[Bill Donovan]

Capt. Sterling:

Questions...
I assume "water" means "coolant."  How much coolant?  Does it start 
immediately or after warm-up only?  Does the Genny overheat?

If it's a small amount of coolant and leaks only after warm-up, you 
could still have a cap problem.  Be sure it is rated for the correct 
pressure and is properly seated.

I had a similar problem with a Cummins main engine -- turned out to 
be improperly rated cap.
