Replacing the radiator tank on your car is an easily achievable task, but safety is of prime importance. Ensure that the vehicle has been parked long enough for the engine to feel cool to the touch (1 to 2 hours). The pressure inside a hot radiator tank will force fluid upwards if the cap is released. For easy access to your radiator, the vehicle can be raised by using ramps. However, the car must remain level for the duration of the tank replacement.
