How to Service the Coolant Reservoir on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

The first step to service the coolant expansion tank starts with waiting for engine cooling to avoid letting air into the system because it would damage the engine components. Service of the coolant overflow hose requires initial disconnection. Start by detaching the retainer from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor wiring harness when needed. The next step involves unfastening the bolts which secure the coolant expansion tank followed by taking the tank out of its position. Deployment of the bolts should be completed at 7 Nm torque (62 lb-in) before following the inverse procedure to install. Add coolant mixture containing 50/50 liquid ratio of coolant and drinkable water to the coolant expansion tank.

Thus, Coolant Reservoir is the important part of Ford Explorer Sport Trac cars that protects from spilling of the coolant, as well as entrance of the fresh air into the engine cooling system. There are two main types of Coolant Reservoirs used in these vehicles: The two broad categories of tanks used in the water-based district cooling system are the overflow tank systems and the expansion tank systems. In the overflow system, coolant drains from the radiator to the recovery tank whenever, the system pressure rises beyond the limit indicated on the cap and, in the expansion system, the tank is a part of the closed system which expands and contracts with the system pressure. It is advisable to learn to occasionally take your car for checks to see whether the outer surfaces have developed cracks, whether the coolant has leaked or the plastic housing has taken on an aged and rusty coloration. Coolant Reservoir is also a very important part that regulates the correct coolant level and the performance of the vehicle's cooling system.
