Cooling & Fuel

Two systems, one job each: keep the engine at its temperature, and feed it. The cooling half gives the thermostat and pressure-cap numbers and the SRT’s extra charge-air cooling circuit; the fuel half gives working pressure, delivery rate, pump draw and the tank’s real capacity, reserve included.

Exhaust fasteners are covered by torque rather than by specification — those values live with the rest of the car’s hardware in the Torque Specifications chapter.
