A coolant reservoir tank, also called a coolant reservoir reserve tank. It stores excess coolant when the engine heats up and sends it back to the radiator as the engine cools. If your coolant reservoir tank is cracked, leaking, or overflowing, it’s time for a replacement to avoid overheating or serious engine damage. FridayParts offers OEM-quality coolant reservoir tanks, you can find for your equipment here.
Coolant tanks are made of plastic and are often exposed to high heat and pressure. Over time, they may crack or warp. Signs it’s time for a coolant reservoir tank replacement include:
If your coolant reservoir tank leaks, the rest of the cooling system can’t work properly—and that can cost you. So be sure to repair or replace it in time.
The tank works hand-in-hand with components like the:
Radiator – Transfers heat away from the engine
Radiator Cap – Controls pressure and releases overflow into the tank
Coolant Hoses – Move coolant between parts
Water Pump – Keeps coolant circulating
Thermostat – Regulates coolant flow based on engine temperature
Fan and Fan Clutch – Assist with cooling during heavy use
Together, these parts prevent overheating and keep your engine running smoothly in demanding environments.
Replacing a coolant reservoir tank is often affordable. Parts typically range from $26 to $399, depending on the model. Labor may cost more if done at a shop, but many owners choose to replace it themselves with a few basic tools. If you notice your coolant reservoir tank is cracked or swollen, don’t wait—replacing it early saves your engine.
