So I pressure-tested my radiator cap on my truck and it was rapidly leaking. I couldn't build but a 10 PSI pumping like hell with the test kit. So I ordered a new radiator cap it does the same thing. Is my new cab bad or an I wrong that my cap should almost hold 15psi and slowly leak down?

Second new cap still the same out come. I'm guessing it's the tester some how. The screwy part is I tested 2 caps on gasser and they hold pressure like they should. The caps have the same part number as mine too.
