Ford F-350 Coolant Overflow Tanks

The coolant reservoir is an important part of any vehicle’s cooling system, working together with the radiator cap to ensure that the system functions properly. In fact, in a common cooling cycle, when the cooling liquid reaches a set temperature, the thermostat of your Ford F-350 opens, allowing the coolant to flow into the radiator where excessive heat is dissipated. When the fluid goes into the thin tubes of the radiator, however, pressure rockets, and risks of leakage or even bursting of hot fluid become serious and real. Here comes the radiator cap, which actually functions as a pressure valve that opens at the proper time, discharging the excessive pressure by allowing excessive coolant to flow into the reservoir.

Besides causing major damages to the engine and other components, a rupture in the cooling system can pollute the environment because antifreeze is a hazardous chemical mix of several substances, including ethylene glycol. Therefore, we surely suggest checking the cooling system on a regular basis, including the reservoir and its cap. Surf our online catalog for a variety of premium Ford F-350 coolant reservoirs.
