Mobile Expansion Tank Replacement at Your Home or Office
The expansion tank plays a crucial role in collecting expanding coolant from the coolant circuit. If the expansion tank is damaged, it can lead to leaks, necessitating its replacement at the earliest signs of wear.

What is Expansion Tank Replacement?
The expansion tank serves to protect and store excess coolant. Acting as a reservoir, it collects overflow coolant resulting from expansion when the liquid reaches high temperatures. Without the expansion tank, this excess coolant would leak onto the road. Coolant circulates through the car’s cooling system to prevent engine overheating. The expansion tank captures the inevitable overflow of this crucial fluid and redistributes it throughout the engine. As the engine's cooling system heats the coolant in the radiator to its required operating temperature, the liquid expands and is expelled from the radiator through the radiator cap. The expansion tank stores this excess coolant to maintain the necessary fluid level within the system.
How is Expansion Tank Replacement Done?
- The coolant is drained into a suitable container and the coolant recovery reservoir cap is removed.
- The old coolant recovery reservoir is then disconnected from all hoses and removed from the vehicle.
- Next, the new coolant recovery reservoir is securely installed, and the coolant hoses are connected and secured using new clamps.
- The system is refilled with coolant and purged of air following the manufacturer's recommendations.
- Finally, the vehicle's coolant recovery reservoir is inspected for leaks and proper operation.
