So basically you used a coolant tester to check the specific gravity?
Which place did you check the coolant? Reservoir or radiator?
262 is pretty close to 265 degrees (boiling point).
It's within the margin of error for a hydrometer (+/- 8 degrees) however, it's still not telling you at what PSI your cap is releasing at or the actual coolant temp.
