Very quick question > Need Coolant system pressure relief (rad cap pressure)

Quick question to save me finding and downloading the 4th gen FSM. I need to know the Rad cap relief pressure rating. My buddies 4th gen shows ".9"

I'm unsure if this is .9 kPa, or what. We need to test for a blown HG and he's unsure what pressure to test at. I told him 3 PSI is safe until I find the spec.

Thanks in advance gents!
