I have change 3 expansion tank,but now the newones seem crack again,the garage said because the enginen pressure:(,please give me some advise how can i do with the expansion tank?:confused:
 
yes, it is perto engine,i already got a new tank and change to use all coolent ,now seems ok,no more crack. i will contiune check it . thank you !
 
Surely the expansion tank cap is the "Safety Valve" for the cooling system and should relieve any excess pressure over and above what the system is designed to work at ????
Even on old motors, where the filler cap was mounted on top of the radiator, it was spring loaded in order to lift and relieve the excess pressure through the overflow hose rather than explode the radiator. The caps were stamped with the relief pressure dependent on the engine/model .
I feel sure that the expansion tank cap is designed to relieve any excess pressure, rather
than let the plastic tank take the strain and blow.
 
Mine has done the same. been through 2 new tank + caps.
the company blamed me for it breaking. The actual reason i found is that it fouls on the bonnet when it is shut..... Not fixed mine yet
