What is the Coolant Reservoir all about?

Cooling systems on vehicles are meant to remove heat from critical engine components. The fluid or coolant that circulates through the system carries the heat out of the engine to the radiator, where air flow dissipates the heat it contains. A natural reaction to the heat which the fluid experiences is expansion. If the fluid in the cooling system is at the full mark when the engine is cold, the volume will be greater when the fluid is hot due to expansion. Because the cooling system is closed and pressurized when hot, the excess hot coolant needs to go somewhere. It is pushed into a surge tank, or an overflow tank, where it remains until the engine cools down. When the engine cools, the contraction from the fluid still in the system creates a vacuum and the surge tank’s hose draws the coolant back into the system. If the coolant surge tank is cracked or broken, the coolant will leak onto the ground. An airlock will form in the cooling system when the surge tank hose only draws in air instead of coolant.

Keep in mind:

  • Engine coolant is extremely hot when the engine is at operating temperature. Never open the cooling system when the engine is hot.
  • The surge tank should be flushed when the coolant is being changed out.

How it's done:

  • The coolant is drained into a suitable container and the coolant recovery reservoir cap is removed.

  • The old coolant recovery reservoir is disconnected from all of the hoses hoses and pulled free of the vehicle.

  • The new coolant recovery reservoir is installed into the vehicle and secured. The coolant hoses are installed and secured using new clamps.

  • The coolant is refilled and purged of air as per manufacturer recommendation.

  • The vehicle coolant recovery reservoir is checked for leaks and proper operation.

Our recommendation:

The surge tank itself should never need attention unless it is damaged or broken. Excess engine heat may also warp the container, though it is not common. If your coolant surge tank is broken or leaking, have one of our expert mechanics replace it.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Coolant Reservoir?

  • Coolant leaking onto the ground when engine is hot.
  • Engine overheats due to an airlock.

How important is this service?

The surge tank is part of the cooling system. It may seem to be auxiliary, but it is essential to proper operation. If the surge tank leaks coolant out, an airlock will form in the engine and it could overheat, causing damage. If your surge tank is broken, have it replaced as soon as possible to prevent further issues.

Nissan Maxima V6-3.5L - Car is not starting - Gaithersburg, Maryland
Robert never showed up to my very first appointment booked with him on 10/29/20 at 9 am so I had to call the company and inquire as to where he was, and to check and see if he was still coming. Robert finally texted me at 10:17 am informing me that he had cell phone issues. I would have preferred to receive a call a half an hour prior to my appointment or even afterwards so I could have went on about my day without waiting clueless as to if he was going to show. My appointment was then rescheduled for Monday 11/2/20 at 4:39 pm. Once again I encountered the same exact thing. Robert was having cell phone issues once again, but this time he claimed he left it an Uber. This time I was upset and really didn't want my car to be serviced by him at all and requested another mechanic. Unfortunately there was none available so I had to stick with Robert. My appointment was rescheduled a third time on Friday 11/6/20 but this time Robert actually showed up and on time to my surprised. He ended up performing my inspection on the battery installed previously by another mechanic and it turned out to be the issue for my car not starting. Robert turned out to be a very quiet and polite young man and did a good job. I stood outside and wiped down my car as he performed the check on my battery and checked for any other issues in reference to my engine only. He showed me the readings he received from his mechanical device that read the Battery Cells and Alternator, then pointed out how it was my battery and not the Alternator like I assumed. I really did appreciated it. Robert never completed the entire 50 Point Inspection like I was informed, but rather just on the battery to see if it was related to previous services I had received by another mechanic. I was charged for the inspection as if the issues was related to another problem that caused my car not to start and that wasn't the case. My car wouldn't start of even hold a charge after Robert charged it because it was due to the battery so I should not have been charged at all since the service was still under warranty. I had to call for a refund and still right today 11/10/20 I haven't received.
