I'm laughing, but is it a......new overflow radiator tank? Your current tank looks good with no expansion issues, but the new one looks really nice.

You are correct! Can I have your car?

It didn't have any expansion issues, I just got tired of not being able to see the coolant level...that and it looks HORRIBLE! I'm trying to spruce up my engine bay.

I can't see anything in my expansion tank. I just add till I see liquid. My last expansion plastic tank looked like a baloon. They don't break. Those crack lines are just there for you to worry. The stock tanks take a ton of pressure. Guess the cap works as advertised.

I always love the look of clean white coolant tanks. What did you have to black out on the left side on the photo....?

Nice! I installed one a few months ago. Really cleans up the engine bay.

Sorry, but your tank shouldn't be pressurized to see any expansion. Cracks are just part of the aging process. You have other issues. Replace your cap ASAP!

I don't like trash that blew into the yard to be visible in pictures...that's bad taste...

Fluid, shoot me a PM and ask away!

It's in! Sorry for the crappy picture tho. My wife's night shot was all I could use because the flash doesn't work on her camera!
