Coolant Recovery Tank and Radiator Cap

Coolant recovery tanks and radiator caps are vital to keeping the correct amount of coolant in the cooling system. Without these components, the cooling system would not be able to build pressure or would overflow as the pressure in the system rises. Coolant recovery tanks are designed to receive overflowing coolant from the radiator, and store it until the system cools and the coolant can be returned. Coolant overflow tanks can become brittle and crack over time, which may allow coolant to leak. The seals and springs on the radiator cap can also become weak over time. This can allow the pressure in the cooling system to push the seal of the radiator cap open and allow coolant to leak from the cap, or coolant to flow to the reservoir before appropriate pressures are reached.
