What happens when you over fill the coolant tank?

The car normally pushes it out the over flow.


What is spillage?

Spillage is when liquid spills over form where it is supposed to be. This can be found in cars and vehicles when coolant spills over from the reservoir, or when a gas tank is over-filled causing gasoline to spill out.


Why is the over flow tank full when the car is overheating?

That is were the coolant goes when it expands. Sounds like coolant isn't circulating or it is being forced out of the system.


Where is the radiator cap located on a 2003 Chevy Malibu?

no cap, there is only a cap on over flow coolant tank. to add coolant add to tank make sure it is at the right level when cold.


What is a expansion tank on a car?

As the engine coolant heats up, the coolant expands, so the coolant needs a reservoir or expansion tank to flow in and out of as needed.


Location of coolant level sensor in a 2000 Chevy surban 5.7 ltr. engine?

How do you bleed cooling system on chevy malibu 3.1 liter v6?

Fill the over flow tank to where it should be and just run the engine as usual. The system bleeds itself, Just check the over flow tank to make sure there is enough coolant in it.


What causes the antifreeze to go to the over flow tank?

Antifreeze can flow into the overflow tank due to the expansion of coolant as it heats up during engine operation. When the engine reaches high temperatures, pressure increases, causing excess coolant to overflow into the reservoir. Additionally, a malfunctioning radiator cap or a cooling system leak can also lead to coolant being forced into the overflow tank. When the engine cools down, some of this coolant may be drawn back into the system.


99 cadillac antifreeze keeps running low?

it sounds like your coolant over flow tank is leaking. it is a common problem with these cars. might also check your radiator for leaks or your exhaust for coolant, but if there is coolant in your exhaust that would mean blown heads


If the gas tank on 2007 Honda civic if too full will it overflow?

Well if you over fill it at the gas stand of course it will over flow, if you fill it to tyhe brim and replace your cap it will not over flow - unless your filler cap has a faulty seal, if it has a faulty seal the gas is likely to spill out while driving.


Is it normal for coolant water to go into the reservoir?

Yes- coolant reservoir is designed to accept excess coolant - As coolant heats up it will expand and flow to the coolant recovery tank (reservoir) and as it cools (contracts) it will be sucked back into the radiator


What would make the coolant turn 2 foam about 45 seconds after you turn the car on n it over flows from the over flow tank?

Hot oil getting into the water. Typically seen when the head gasket is blown.
