## 🔌 Function

The expansion tank stores surplus coolant and allows the freshwater cooling circuit to expand and contract safely with temperature changes, keeping the system full and pressurised. It also provides the filling and level-checking point for engine coolant.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Coolant weeping, staining or dried residue around the tank body, seams or hose connections
-   Cracks, crazing or brittleness in the tank shell from age and heat cycling
-   Persistent coolant loss with no other visible leak in the circuit
-   Repeated overheating or fluctuating temperature readings caused by loss of system pressure
-   Damaged or distorted filler neck preventing the cap from sealing correctly

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check the level cold with the engine stopped, and fill to between the level marks where the tank has them, or to the level given in the workshop manual for your engine — an overfilled system simply pushes coolant out past the cap as it warms
-   Use the coolant type and mix specified for your engine and top up with the same; mixing coolant types can destroy the corrosion protection the whole cooling system depends on
-   Inspect the tank for hairline cracks, crazing and staining around the seams and the hose spigots, and check the hoses and clips while you are there
-   Check the cap seal and that the cap both relieves and draws back properly — a cap that will not vent empties the tank, and one that will not let coolant return collapses a hose
-   Never release the cap on a hot pressurised system; let it cool first, and bleed and refill the system as the manual for your engine describes after any work
