D'oh.
I've been stuck at that Podunk station before - closed after midnight, the only one in town and the next one well over what my remaining range was...
I assume he's waiting for the thermo-nuclear to unmelt so he can add water - to see where it went?
... I'm betting on a leak from the Joe-the-plumber radiator update and will it be easily solved at first light.
Last report is that the water pump is venting water and steam from "3 cast in pin holes" when he adds water; Spank wonders if this indicates a bad pump seal.
We just texted him to remember to run the cap at no-pressure.
There are a plethora of Automotive machine shops on Texas Ave in El Paso. If it's a seal he might be able to chat one up to do a press-out/in patch-up on the fly... anyone in El Paso with machine shop connections?
I just texted him this info (street, # etc) - their storyline in their ad sounds like they might be amused enough to give a hand.. who knows??

I've heard that biscuit mix will sometimes seal leaks that Bar's won't. However, I've also heard that there's money waiting for me in a Nigerian bank.
