Re: [DML] Otterstat Popped Out While Driving

[mike.griese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Does your otterstat install on the top of the pipe by chance?  If 
it does, loosen the hose clamps and rotate the pipe so the 
otterstat fitting is on the bottom of the pipe.  This ensures that
there is always coolant on the otterstat element.  Also, a cable
tie is good insurance for the clip.
