The cap is spring loaded with a return valve in it, therefore the water is designed to push past it when warm and expands, thus causing the level to rise a little in the expansion tank, and when the water gets cold its molecular structure tightens and shrinks, causing less water to be in the expansion bottle. Hence the name EXPANSION.
The only sure way to know your rad is full is via the cap!!!!!
