SK - Model 613/614/624 - Mini-Tek Level Sensors - Brochure

Dynamometer tests by a major diesel engine manufacturer have proven that SUDDEN LOSS OF COOLANT CAN DESTROY YOUR ENGINE IN 50 SECONDS and it will do so before an overtemperature signal is received. Overtemperature sensors are only capable of sensing excessive coolant temperature caused by clogged radiators, malfunctioning thermostats, failed water pumps, or any other “circulation” problem. Upon loss of coolant, however, these temperature sensors must try to respond to hot air which, being a poor thermal conductor, results in signals that arrive only after the engine is severely damaged.
