If it is a plastic overflow coolant reservoir most simply unscrew. If it has a cap like most radiators then it has to be pushed down before it is turned to get it to unlock.

How do you clean fish tank lid?

That's going to depend on the type of lid. My tank has a glass cover to it. In order to clean it. I simply take it off and scrape off any algae. After cleaning the algae, I wipe it down with a wash cloth WET WITH TANK WATER ONLY. Dry it with a dry washcloth and replace it.


Why is your coolant leaking from the top of the tank if the tank is to the line and why is it not going down?

Perhaps the coolant was overfilled. It will expand because of heat or pressure and the excess makes it way to the coolant refill tank. Make sure your coolant doesn't have oil in it. In a worst case scenario you could have a faulty head gasket or engine damage that allows engine oil to seep into the coolant. But if you don't see oil in the coolant, then just drain some off.


What plumbing supply parts does one need to fix a toilet when the water continues to run?

The first thing you should do is check the inside workings of the tank. Begin by lifting the lid off the tank (put it someplace safe so that you don't break it. Then check to see if the float mechanism is working correctly. Sometime cleaning the float mechanism will do the trick and the water will shut off at the correct time. If this does not work you may have to replace the apparatus inside of the tank.

Your coolant light of your 97 sunfire 2.2 came on and it is full with radiator fluid what else can this be the light wont go off?

There is a sensor that is in the overflow bottle that may be bad causing the "low coolant light" to illuminate. The coolant level switch is located on the bottom side of the coolant tank. The switch contains a reed switch and a magnetic float. When the coolant level is normal, the float rests away from the reed switch, causing the switch to be open. When the coolant level decreases in the coolant recovery tank below a specified level, the float rests on the reed switch and the switch closes, illuminating the LOW COOLANT light. The coolant level switch is a part of the coolant tank. If the switch needs to be replaced, the coolant tank must be replaced.


Does water in the reservoir circulate through radiator when engine runs?

No. When the engine is running coolant is heated and expands. Excess coolant then flows from the radiator to the expansion (overflow) tank. When the engine is shut down coolant cools and contracts drawing fluid back out of the tank to keep the radiator topped off.


How do you top off coolant fluid in a Mercedes C230 2007?

when you open the hood you will see the coolant tank on your left hand side, (do not open it if the engine still Hot). on this vehicle the malfunction light will turn on even if the coolant level is a little bit low, once the engine is cold go ahead and open the reservoir tank and top it off with coolant (recommended) or regular water if is just a little bit low
