Really fed up with expansion tank leaks.

Antifreeze gets into the metal...

Finally a possible reason why SO many people have trouble getting these tanks soldered up to stop the leaks. A theme thats been repeated on various threads here for a number of years. Maybe the silver solder will actually bond, I've used it, good stuff.

George called me with the top bolt to the top of the radiator cap measurement on his polished stainless tank, 6 1/4". Mine is 5 1/2". His is 3/4" taller. Actually, it's probably only 1/2" too tall as I allowed a small amount of fudge factor with mine. It looks like I'll be fixing mine as no one offers what I need in anything other than brass.


Joe, Whats the measurement from the centerline of the top thermostat bolt to your tank's top fill w/the radiator cap on it?

Earl, ..the same question for you too.

Does anyone custom make a stainless or aluminum tank???

Superformance has stainless tanks, Kirkham aluminum. I have had both and neither leak.
