Whenever I got a coolant hose leak I find that the simplest cheapest and easiest way to permanently fix it without having to spend sometimes even a $100 for new hose assemblies, is instead a 5 dollar fix: welcome to a simple hose coupling. It costs about 5 bucks and comes with two clamps and u can get one for about any size. What I do is simply cut the hose in half with a razor where the leak is, insert the coupling between the cut, clamp em back up and there ya have it , good as new, no tape, no worrying about it coming off because this is exactly the method the factory uses at the end of the hose, you're just doing it in middle. Good luck! Was surprised not to see anyone on TH-cam mention this 🤔 Ps: if ur stuck on the side of the road the easiest way to get back home would be taping up the leak with whatever tape u can get ur hands on (many rounds, use the whole roll if yall have to!) and if u have no tape just wrap a towel or cloth as tight as u can and then just loosen the coolant cap enough for some air to get out so u release the pressure on that tape or cloth. Then fill up reservoir with water if u have no coolant. (Make sure u don't leave that water in during the winter as it'll freeze up)
Just get it towed. If it's not distilled water , you will get mineral deposits in your engine. Unrelated: If you do a neti pot nasal irrigation with tap water, u may get a brain infection. That is why they use distilled water when doing nasal irrigations.
Genius well said. I do irrigation plumbing and retaining walls for a living and we use PVC pipes that come with couplings etc. this makes sense. I get paid Friday so I'll probably use the rag method and tighten her down with some zip ties
@@kendalgee5808 Not actually true. Upon doing some reading on the subject a year ago, softened water ( like what come out of your faucet, when you have a water softener) is what you want. Distilled water is okay ,when it's mixed 50/50 with coolant, but not by itself, it's not balanced with ions, so it's very corrosive. Bob is the oil guy, has a good article on this.
Happened with my car once when the coolant return pipe cracked. I was hundreds of miles away from the nearest authorised service center and was also not in my hometown. Was staying in a hotel. I bought a small pack of epoxy putty and applied a thin layer on the crack - left my vehicle parked in the parking lot overnight to allow it to dry and solidify and then drove back home the next day without any issues of coolant leakage. I got the hose replaced after a year. The epoxy putty held on real strong. Just sharing with in case anyone face such a situation.
@@lazycarper7925 there are a number hose repair kits available. You'll be able to find few over the internet as well. But yeah it really depends on the nature of damage and if the hose can be easily patched, you'll be in luck and will hit the road soon.
@@deadstreet1675 I am thinking Permatex will work. It is an RTV sealant for temp extremes. Need to try on a small leak I have where hose clamps into radiator.
How about melting a tie wrap with a soldering iron over the hose's cut itself? Sounds pretty straightforward to me, since it will literally become part of the hose construction itself...
val m not nearly the same thing but yes it will harden super glue. Although it chemically reacts and greatly weakens it. Johnny weld cures and reinforces it and it pours real nice. Thanks for your comment
@@DASHAWNJOHN ... yea,, a hose like that, I'll repair it only till I get to a professional mechanic or I replace the hose myself. But most likely, I'll call AAA for a tow. I'm not going to rely on that repair for nothing. If it fails, it will cost me more money.
First, I wanna say, thank you for your video. You did give me an idea. But 2nd, how reliable is this repair you just did ? If I use my car for work making deliveries, and I'm on the road all day, is this patch reliable ? I question that. I cannot take that chance. My income depends on my reliable transportation.
@@apetcharlie .... I'm sure the idea works. But as I stated before, it might temporarily. But I personally wouldn't depend on it long term. I would use the idea just till I get to the auto store and buy a new hose and replace the hose myself, or have a professional mechanic fix it correctly. Thank you again for your input.
tried a similar product on a pin hole on a tractor radiator hose does not work the emergency tape gave a much better result had a dew drop leak re wrapped the hose yet to see if the timy dew drop is gone however still have a new hose to fit
@@RedMango55 sorry for the harsh reply, I was very frustrated with trolls last night. I know a few things about chemicals. My father was national leading salesman for loctite Corp while I was growing up. I developed this product to allow people to fix something very fast. In a lot of cases it is permanent. In a lot of cases it is not. To permanently fix I would cover with Johnny weld to seal immediately and then go over it with permatex. Now you can drive while the permatex dries. Works well to hold items while epoxy cures as well. If you would like ill send you a free bottle. Have a good day bud
@@johnnyweld3328 All good bud. Sometimes we need to step back from online arguments with trolls, they enjoy that kind of game. Your video was informative and useful. There are ingenious ways to fix things and I get inspired. Cheers.
Cut a tiny piece of the tube if it's in the middle where it's leaking go in the auto store find a pipe that fits snugly inside and get two clamps, cut the pipe down put it inside the tube where you cut and clamp both sides, I did this and it never failed afterword
saye johnson yes if you get the loctite water resistant super glue. Sold at Home Depot. It says dishwasher safe in red container. Also have to let cure 24 hours to be water resistant. Thanks
@@LuXoR1590 gotcha. Yea, right now I'm trying to fix a leak either on a smaller overflow hose? From the top of a Ford explorer '05 radiator or a small fracture on that hose mount hook up. If it's that hose, after I remove it and look for deterioration/ breaks in that rubber hose then, that would be simple to replace, but if it's on that plastic outlet area then i might try either JB weld or something similar for hard plastic construction of radiator. I noticed about 20 ounces low in overflow tank by airbox side, and a small flow of coolant fluid draining from the small hose hookup/ outlet. Maybe I can figure it out, 👍
@@tendoublesx1078 . I had purchased the JB weld kit ( two epoxy tubes)after removing hose line at the top left side of radiator, where I first noticed a small leak and eventually it wasn't that overflow tube hose, It had a very small fracture on top left radiator near hose outlet area, about a 1/4 inch ,So I sanded area lightly, added JB epoxy weld that afternoon, let it sit overnight, and added more the next day, not as much just around entire area but with a very small painters brush, size of a wooden stick match. And, Zero leaking since. The only reason I can figure what happened, was during The winter months, below freezing last year, the water that I added to full strength making it 50/50 seperated, and the top portion of radiator was where the water was frozen. With the vibration of motor when on / driving/ road vibration, the small fracture/ crack formed when ice eventually thawed and cracked also at that top particular area of plastic radiator. But it being plastic overall, might be less durable than an all metal radiator also. Just my theory, although, I eventually want to change out entire radiator, if or before any other leaks occur. Thanks for concern, 👍
pipes like that ususally break when they're really really old and the gazilliont hot/cold cycle takes it toll and perishes the material. a hole will from from the inside, and if you repair that hole, another will appear from elsewhere. the walls of that host are uniformally compromised, do yourself a favour and replace it with a brand new part.
Any average super glue will hold a higher heat than a vehicle runs at. Also works well on compressed air hoses and fittings. I've actually fixed leaks on pressure washers that run over 2000psi. On a rubber radiator hose the hose will fail after about 500 miles because the rubber separates without internal fiberglass reinforcement in the affected area. Will get you to a shop and beyond. Thanks for looking
lord did you just stab your radiator hose ..? please tell me it had a leak prior lmfao " well i dun turned dis perfect radiator hose brokeded then i fixed it for a whole week! "
champ this is a solution when you aren't able to get a replacement hose ..... and his fix lasted a week giving the viewer a good idea how long it will last so you can get a new hose..
Dude,isn't that glue flammable?Won't the heat buildup from the coolant cause a fire? Man, I wouldn't risk driving the car unless to get me home so I can change the hose.
A coolant hose only gets up to around 200 degrees igloo is only flammable when it is in its liquid state not curedand yes it is a temporary fix to get you to the auto place to get a new hose in no way shape or form is this a permanent fix Thanks for looking average Joe

Can it withstand high pressure?
I’ve just done mine with a bicycle inner tube repair kit so far so good I’ll look in morning should be ok till I can get new hose
Didn’t work
You can also use Baking soda so harden the super glue. Iv never used Jonny weld though so it could be better.
hey, does this works with the radiator coolant reservoir?
Super glue and baking soda. Works every time
That's what I just did right now. Hope it lasts 😅

It didn't bro. Next day it went white and started leaking again. I changed hose. Only repair. a@@kcmartin1
How much it and dose it comes in a kit wit the white powder or jus the glue??
What happened after the week ?
engine overheated and cost him 2000 dollars. radiator hose and coolant cost 50.
How about melting a tie wrap with a soldering iron over the hose's cut itself? Sounds pretty straightforward to me, since it will literally become part of the hose construction itself...
I just so happen to have E6000. I looked it up and it says this glue is dam near bad ass. Will it work for this?
Baking soda applied to cyanoacrylate(superglue at dollar store) = same thing as in this video

What glue/sealant would you recommend for putting together silicone and a metal pip coming off it?
wow. that's amazing 😮😮 i gotta get that stuff 😁
I sell this stuff...send me $25 I'll ship out a bottle immediatly. Include $10 postage.😜
Can u put tape around it like dark tape ?

Yes but cure will be about 5 minutes before completely solid
Yeah all that shit you put on it probably seeped into the radiator.
Will this work on trans cooler lines?
Yes, clean all grease and oil from the line and apply 4 to 5 thin layers.
What about a power steering rubber hose ?
Crazy question could you use gorilla glue
It does make gorilla glue dry about 2x as fast as normal and makes it harder. But your still looking at hours for it to cure
Per how long?
Better is liquid rubber its flexibile and it will not crack like glue
Just curious, what brand? Thanks
