Honda Coolant Tank

Are you looking for your car's coolant tank and your grandfather suddenly tells you that there is no such thing? Well, your grandfather is either right or he is just confused with the information he holds. Vintage cars and other vehicles manufactured before the 1970s would normally not include a coolant tank in the vehicle's engine cooling system. But if you're driving a Honda, your grandpa surely got his information wrong. All Honda vehicles in the U.S. are surely equipped with Honda coolant tanks since Honda started importing cars in the North American market only since 1972. So if you own a Honda and your mechanic tells you that your Honda coolant tank has a problem, you better believe him.

Coolant tanks are semi-transparent plastic bottles that may be pressurized or not and are used on modern vehicles to hold any overflowing coolant from the radiator. And why would the coolant overflow? As the engine heats up, the coolant would also tend to expand, thus growing into an amount that the radiator can no longer hold. Instead of allowing the overflowing coolant to spill out into an overflow tube, just as older vehicles would, modern vehicles make use of the coolant tank to store this excess. Because of this function, coolant tanks are also often, and more popularly, called coolant reservoir tanks, coolant expansion tanks, coolant recovery tanks, or coolant overflow tanks.

But your Honda coolant tank serves your Honda's engine cooling system in ways more than one. Aside from serving as a reservoir for overflowing coolant, it also makes checking the system's fluid level a lot easier and safer. Most modern engine cooling systems would even allow the use the coolant tank cap for adding coolant instead of using the radiator pressure cap.

The coolant tank is very important for the proper operation of the engine cooling system just as the fuel tank is for that of the vehicle's engine. Therefore, an expansion tank leak, or any other damage for that matter, must be replaced immediately. If the leak or damage is already too large to repair, then you better have purchase a replacement that would fit perfectly on your Honda.
