Expansion Cap Color

[Ashy]

Now then, just wondering what color caps people have on their expansion tanks?

Any idea what rating the brown ones are? just wondering if I should be using a blue one?

I have been using a brown cap for a few years now without any probs.

From what I here the blue cap has a higher pressure rating (1.5 bar?) which is what I use. I suspect for road use at least either will be fine, although it might be worth someone who's using a brown one to give a blue one a try.....:confused:

I have used both brown & blue with no probs:confused: I currently have blue fitted to both of mine.

ive got a brown one, under heavy load today it released :confused: after a few checks everything seemed ok and I had no further problems...

Im hoping theres not an underlying problem :scared:
