Car Expansion Tank

What Are the Symptoms of a Bad Car Expansion Tanks ?

The function of the auto expansion tank is to exhaust the gas in the cooling system, and can also replenish the cooling system with coolant. By increasing the pressure of the cooling system to increase the pressure of the water pump, it is also to prevent the harm of cavitation of the water pump. Auto expansion tank plays an irreplaceable role for vehicles, should pay close attention to its real-time dynamics. What are the symptoms if the auto expansion tank is damaged.

• The Vent Pipe is Blocked

The vent pipe is blocked, which is a common fault of the auto expansion tank. Due to the blockage of the vent pipe, the air in the engine water jacket and radiator can not be discharged in time, then the coolant can not fill the whole cooling system, so the coolant can not circulate normally, and the engine temperature rises rapidly. The fault phenomenon of "boiling" and water spraying of the cooling system often occurs, also coolant can not be replenished enough.

• Cracking

Expansion tank for car is mainly made of plastic and age with the longer time it is used.

• Leakage & Broken

Leakage at the seal of liquid level sensor.

The connector fixing the inlet and outlet hoses of the expansion tank is broken.
