    Mild lift and some tasty bits
    That's why radiator caps have the small flanges that catch when you first crack them open. They cause the hot fluid to flare to the sides instead of right into your face.

    And replacements are just as likely to fail as old ones.

    They just don't make 'em like they used to.
