Coolant Recovery Tank Information

Coolant Recovery and Overflow Tank
Today most vehicles come equipped with a coolant overflow or better known as a coolant recovery tank. Radiator caps used to be located on the top of the radiator, however now most caps are located on the recovery tank that is located in a number of places within the engine compartment.

The main reason the manufacturers went away from the radiator cap and went to the remote coolant tank was due to the fact that due to the new aerodynamic designs of vehicles, the top of the radiator was lower than the top of the engine, thus not allowing the ability to top off the coolant without raising the front of the vehicle way off the ground.

The coolant overflow tank also allows the antifreeze to have a place to expand, this also allows the driver of the car or truck to easily see the level of coolant in the system.
