Would like to buy an expansion tank ASAP
The Great Fandango - 26/4/07 at 09:41 AM

Prior to sorting out my Fazer 1000 cooling issue I'm on the lookout for all the parts I'll need...

My present cooling system is closed-circuit having no expansion tank.

Can anyone suggest a nice (and relatively cheap) tank to use and where to get it from. I presume there are metal tanks too rather the the bog standard plastic ones?

Many thanks in advance

get one from a rover 200 bubble shape. They are quite flat and can be installed high under the bonnet. Mine cost £2 from local scrappy.

I got a very nice vw polo plastic ball one from the scrappy, well made with a very large cap.

MK2 Astra for £5 from scrappy for me. Ideal for fitting high up on the scuttle bulk head in the engine bay, easy pipe connections/routing directions (for a Pinto).

If you want to splash out on an ally one, have alook at the likes of Pace etc. £££££ for something you can't see whilst driving though

theres people on here and ebay who do custom tanks, i think they are around £50. Id use plastic on mine if i could find one that fitted, only get a custom one if i had to.
