The radiator reserve tank is commonly mounted on one of the front fenders. The tank will have a hose connecting it to the radiator.
Overflow tank only
Not much actually.
It can. You should leave the engine running while you add water to the radiator. If you add water with the engine turned off, but while the engine is overheated, you might damage the engine or the radiator.
There is a water reservoir tank that goes to the radiator that you can add the water to.
sounds like blockage in the cooling system. See if you are not low on coolant in the radiator. Just because your reserve tank has coo;ant does not mean that you have enough coolant in the radiator. If you have low coolant in the radiator, it will blow cold. It can happen abruptly. If you are low on coolant in the radiator and not in your reserve tank you will need to find out why the system is not pulling coolant out of the reserve tank.
through the reserve tank which is also called the overflow tank being that there is no radiator cap!
When you add engine coolant to a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee because the low coolant indicator has come on, you should add to the reserve tank and the radiator if they are low. Sometimes, just the reserve tank needs filled.
If you mean no water in the radiator, the answer is NO.
That's is what is suppose to happen. Heat pushes the antifreeze into the tank and sucks it back into the radiator when the engine cools. Generally speaking, it will not suck 100% back in. If yours is empty, add a little to reservoir tank
1. raise gas tank, the radiator cap is there, below the gas tank, open the cap... 2. remove the drain bolt on the water pump cover and drain the system coolant.. 3. disconnect the hose from the reserve coolant tank, end empty the coolant from the reserve tank, and after that connect the hose . 4. re install the drain bolt n fill the coolant from radiator cap, the drain bolt potitions on left side under the engine.
the seepage from the radiator. A rotted/damaged radiator core, A split seam between the radiator core and the tank, A cracked tank, A loose hose clamp, A bad radiator cap.
