Coolant Reservoir Tank

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.

When to Replace a Coolant Reservoir Tank

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:

  • Constantly low coolant levels
  • Visible coolant leaks
  • Engine running hotter than normal
  • Cracks or bulges in the tank
  • Coolant overflowing when the engine is hot

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.

How the Coolant Reservoir Tank Works

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.

Coolant Reservoir Replacement Cost

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.
