A surge tank is an important part of any turbo's fuel system as it stops your engine from starving of fuel. Under harsh driving fuel is thrown from side to side of a fuel tank and this can leave the fuel pick up sucking in air rather than fuel. A surge tank however enables your pump to continuously suck up fuel and never have to worry about starving your engine of fuel.
It is possible for a 1989 Jeep to leak coolant from the surge tank if the vehicle is overheating. It is also possible that the surge tank has a crack in it.
Engine overheating will cause the anti-freeze to surge into the overflow tank. A blown head gasket will also cause the anti-freeze to surge into the overflow tank.

If the pressure cap on the surge tank is left loose, defective or will not hold pressure.

To the top of flange where the radiator cap seals. Pressurized systems overflow to the surge tank when hot and draw the coolant back into the radiator when they cool down. The surge tank has the level mark cast into the plastic. If your radiator is low,the surge tank is probably dry. Fill both to the proper level.
A surge tank is basically a pressurized coolant reservoir. As your engine heats and cools the coolant expands and contracts. Because of this You need a place for extra coolant to go to when it expands and be drawn from when it contracts. Conventionally the recovery tank or reservoir was not pressurized. A tube from the radiator cap allowed coolant to be sucked and drained in to the reservoir. However, on many newer vehicles like yours the reservoir is pressurized and called a surge tank.
the cap is on the coolant surge tank, on side by fender.
Tidal gauges usually measure the storm surge.
If your surge tank is boiling, it means that the coolant is reaching a temperature where it is beginning to vaporize and bubble. This can be due to issues such as overheating, low coolant levels, a faulty radiator cap, or a malfunctioning thermostat. It is important to address this promptly to prevent damage to the cooling system.
It is on the passenger side of the radiater. The surge tank and cap are on the driver side
It is in the bottom of the coolant surge Tank. That is beside the air filter box.
