Q: How to remove the reservoir tank in a cooling system?
A: To remove the reservoir tank in a cooling system, start by draining the coolant and saving it if it is still in good condition. Clean up any spilled coolant. On V8 engine models, remove the diagonal brace above the reservoir. Carefully detach all hoses and remove the reservoir tank mounting fasteners. Clean out the tank with soapy water and a brush to remove any deposits and inspect it for cracks. If any cracks are found, replace the reservoir. To install the reservoir tank, simply reverse the removal process and refill the cooling system with the appropriate concentration and type of antifreeze.
